J.F.K. said what?

There's no shortage of great JFK quotes. The guy was basically a walking commemorative plate. But it's one of his famous verbal blunders that we like. "Ich bin ein Berliner." Or, in English, "I am a jelly dounut."

Sure, experts have since ruined our fun -- technically what he said could be considered "correct" -- but who cares? To us, it's as much a part of our folklore as George Washington chopping the cherry tree or Dick Cheney shooting his friend in the face. (Wait, that one really did happen.)

Of course, Kennedy's gaff would not be the only verbal miscue for a US president speaking in Berlin. Twenty-four years later, President Ronald Reagan famously declared, "Mr. Gorbechev, tear down this wienerschnitzel!"
