GERMAN JELLY DONUT |

The List of Ping Lists |
Reminds me of when another DemocRAT messiah named John F. Kennedy went to West Germany to announce that he was a Berliner.
Not understanding how the German language works, he said, "Ich bin ein Berliner."
His Americanness didn't enable him to pronounce the word "ich" correctly so he pronounced it "ish".
Secondly, a German wouldn't declare himself "ein Berliner". He would simply say "Ich bin Berliner".
Just like a Dane wouldn't say "I am a Danish", he would say, "I am Danish".
By adding the word "ein" to "Berliner", JFK was declaring himself to be a jelly filled pastry also called known as a Berliner.
Now that I think about it. He may have been right after all.
Incoming!
