I’m a doughnut

“All free men, wherever they may live, are citizens of Berlin. And therefore, as a free man, I take pride in the words, ‘Ich bin ein Berliner!’ ”

JFK

U.S. President John F. Kennedy speaking at the wall in West Berlin, June 1963

Sometimes we are wanting to say something high minded but circumstances and language defeat us. In Kennedy’s case he didn’t find out till later that the German word “Berliner” also means a “jam/jelly doughnut”.
