I have heard that before. That when JFK said that quote he was really saying "I am a Jelly Donut". Is that true or an Urban Myth?

The fact that one of JFK's most famous quotes was really screwed up is not well known. It was explained to me by an Englishmen who had lived in Germany long enough to know what a "Berliner" is and yes a "Berliner" is a jelly donut.
