"Berliner" = "jelly doughnut"? Take it from me, and then put this discussion somewhere other than net.jokes, "Ich bin ein Berliner" is perfectly acceptable German. Completely comparable with "I am an American," for example. The time I spent in Germany is a few years past, but I can assure you of that much. Kind of makes me wonder how much of the other net items are thrown out by people with absolutely no accuracy whatsoever. Chuck
