David Glenn and Neil Leupold have delved rather deeply into this. But when I
wrote down these words, I really was not serious about the subject, i.e. the
knowledge most people from the USA have as to foreign languages. What enjoys
me so much, without altering my personal feelings about either David or
Neil, is, that they took over a line that I only meant to be slightly
cynical.

When Kennedy said "Ich bin ein Berliner" (David or Neil probably can
translate it for you) he also did NOT mean he was a man from Berlin.

Freude, schoener Goetterfunken....
