Really funny ones today!

Ugh, I'm really going to embarrass myself with the question. I contemplated getting a different profile to ask. I've enlarged the photo, I've narrowed my eyes, I've treated it like a word puzzle, but nada. Ded, please let me in on the joke. Actually I should just private message you and save my public embarrassment for another time. The only think I could think of is that the bag is a bin liner and is not in a bin. But that didn't seem odd to me since my DH sometimes puts the garbage bag liner in our laundry room if he doesn't want to walk out to the garbage area at night. So, tell me what I'm missing? I really enjoy these, some of them are so clever.

Its a play on JFK’s famous Ich Bin Ein Berliner speech. You are probably too young to remember it!

[JFK speech](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ich_bin_ein_Berliner#:~:text=%22Ich%20bin%20ein%20Berliner%22%20(,most%20famous%20anti-communist%20speeches.)

I, who was an adult when the JFK speech "Ich Bin Ein Berliner!) in Berlin took place and was widely reported, about 1960 (hard to believe that to have been over 60 years ago), saw the connection immediately.

Berlin was a walled city in the middle of East (communist) Germany ... about 15 years or so after the end of World War II.

ole joyful

I remember reading that some Germans were a little amused because ”Berliner” is also a name for ”jelly doughnut” there.
