Subject: doughnuts
For all those who don't get Bubba's reference to donuts, JFK and =
Berlin, here's something from a Website on that sacred sweet-tooth food:
"Together in a tightly-packed dozen we stand, but divided, we fall. =
When JFK took his trip to Germany and said, "Ich bein ein Berliner," he =
thought he was saying, "I am a citizen of Berlin." In fact, what he said =
was "I am a doughnut," because a Berliner is a type of doughnut. Many =
people have thought this was a social gaffe, but now, I'm not so sure. I =
think JFK was a doughnut, like we're all doughnuts. In this light, I'd =
like to end with a little song.
You may say I'm a doughnut
But I'm not the only one.
I hope someday you'll eat us
And the world will live as one."
