| Jelly Doughnuts |
An urban legend :
- There is a well known story about Kennedy's phrase "Ich bin ein Berliner". It is said that he made a grammar error and the sentence sorted out as "I am a Jelly Doughnut". He should have said "Ich bin Berliner", signifying "I am a Berliner".
In reality :
- But it seems that it is only but a story. There was a man, the president's official interpreter in Germany, who translate the sentence for him. He even rehearsed it with JFK before his speech.
- It was written on a paper in "english phonetics" for him to pronounciate the words correctly.

- Even though it might have been proven that JFK never intended to say that he was a Jelly Doughnut, it's still a great reminder of his most famous speech.
