The Polish are safe at last

Reminds me of the famous "I am a jelly donut" line I think from JFK or whoever it was.

To be honest I don't know anything about Bush Sr. He's before my time and doesn't have as strong a personality to get in by cultural osmosis the way Clinton (who was the first US president I was alive for, but when I was far too young to have any memories of it) does.

That said, the comment above said the last 30 years. That means Bush Sr isn't in the running, unless I've miscalculated something.

I tried to get a photo in front of the gate with a donught. Apparently it's just not a very popular pastry in Germany, or at least it wasn't at the time (not suprised given what I ate there... Don't know why you'd settle). IIRC even the dunkins nearby didn't have one.

Ich bin ein Berliner. Yep, JFK.

They just can't comprehend 30 years ago was 95.

It's a fun story, however I also found it really interesting after learning German that this is really overblown outside of Germany.

I once tried to reference it with German friends and they didn't even understand why it was supposed to be funny!

[zagorath@aussie.zone]

As someone in their early 30s…neither can I.

That's a myth

I can't judge; the only Polish words I can really say describe stuff like chairs, tables, armoires, that kind of thing. You know, furniture Polish.

Stół z powyłamywanymi nogami.

Don't worry I'm right there with you.

That's both he and his son, I didn't think the one that happened in your lifetime would be the one I'd need to cite.

I just can't comprehend how people could be commenting on a subject but be uninformed about the things that happen within their lifespan.

Both jr and sr were accused of rape and sexual assault and both have links to Epstein like most politicians.

[rekorse@sh.itjust.works]

Really? What's the real story?

[rekorse@sh.itjust.works]

Maybe it just came across as sort of odd but it made sense. Like someone coming here and calling themselves an americano, we probably wouldnt think they were calling themselves a coffee.

Edit: on second thought I might know why the Germans didnt get the joke...

[asdfasdfasdf@lemmy.world]

He said it right and there was some paper that made a comment that was misinterpreted by a lot of people.
