<P>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:</P>
<P> </P>
<P>"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.</P>
<P></P>
<P>You may say I'm a doughnut</P>
<P>But I'm not the only one.</P>
<P>I hope someday you'll eat us</P>
<P>And the world will live as one."</P>

<DIV></DIV>>Dear Mr. Wayne,
<DIV></DIV>>having failed to record the JFK donuts in my mind, I can only redirect you to CheckPoint Charlie
<DIV></DIV>>where such incidents may have been preserved in memory.
<DIV></DIV>>A call from an Austinite new to Berlin would make my day, especially if it was a Ghettoite.
<DIV></DIV>>So call me when you are near and if I am here I will try to act as guide.
<DIV></DIV>>Ciao,
<DIV></DIV>>hans
