I remember when JFK said that he was "ein Berliner". Yeah, he was a creme puff.... :becky:

Cristian, what I gained from those pics is that we're all ONE, just different bodies....

I don't know how well-known this is in the English-speaking world and Maia Gabriel has been hinting at it with Creme Puff (which I had to google to see what it is), but "Berliner" means Donut in German, a particular kind of doughnut i.e. jelly doughnut...

This is the one for those who don't speak English (or German) as their first language

Edit: Sorry, I can't seem to use the "quote", "image", etc. buttons anymore since installing a NOSCRIPT add-on, even though I have allowed PA into the whitelist, no idea why that is

Maybe I'm just a bit childish (ok, not maybe, definitely!), but everytime I see a repeat of this historical scene on TV or in a youtube video or whatever, I just hear the words as: "I AM A DONUT". It never fails to crack me up

It is a kind of donut with cream in it, not Jelly. But the real one is better than donut, the crust is harder and like leaves, at least for French people (American may think their filled donut is a cream puff, who knows).

I bet human ETs can't savor it.

yes Flash, a Creme Puff may well be what you just posted and filled with cream (as the name suggests), what I am saying is that a "Berliner" is a jelly doughnut in German language, the language which the Germans spoke that were gathered around JFK when he spoke those famous words in Berlin at the time...

Oh, I learned something new, thanks.

Ok Seehas, I much prefer mine anyhow, believe me, I ate both and I prefer mine. The Berliner looks like a Ducan Donut donut, not very "goût relevé". LOL I think i derailed the thread, sorry, back to the Berliner, which I definitely am not LOL

[araucaria]

I always thought he'd made some kind of mistake but no, apparently Berlin is full of holeless donuts.

This may imply that most (all) humans are stodgy on the outside and sweet and fruity inside. Nothing like Flash's cream cabbage (chou à la crème) anyway :)

Still, consider if Frankfurt or Hamburg would have been Berlin...
(Ich bin ein Frankfurter ..or .. Ich bin ein Hamburger)

:D

[Maia Gabrial]

JFK meant that he was a Berliner; so, what he should have said was "Ich bin Berliner". Not "ein Berliner". The Germans understood, but it was still funny to them...
