According to the article, JFK had help from a professional translator. Maybe he was playing a joke on him, I don't know... Anyway, apparently a Berliner is a doughnut AND a resident of Berlin! Hmmmmmmmmmm......... the implications are staggering...............

Sometimes, though, there are things that don't make sense in the translation, just because of the way languages are. For instance, in the German translation of Alice in Wonderland I've been reading, the Cheshire Cat is a Harzer Katze. Mad Maudlin, who has been very kind to help me with my German, told me that Harzer is a kind of........ cheese. Now see if you can figure that one out.

I'm hungry. I love doughnuts and haven't had any in a long while. (but hey, I am cooking filet mignons with George Foreman tonight!)
