Ich bin ein Bonnie

Ditto. Or as I believe the German translation is, "Ja, Ditto".

And I don't want to hear about some dork hurling batteries at Reilly Center a million years ago or whatever.

Go Bonnies.
 
This is often quoted as a mistake by JFK, but actually it wasn't.

It was grammatically correct and conveyed exactly what he meant to say. Some suggest that he should have said "Ich bin Berliner" and not included the article "ein." That actually would have been incorrect. It would have suggested that he actually IS (WAS) from Berlin, which of course, he was not. By adding the article "ein" he was figuratively saying he was identifying with the people from Berlin.

Although the phrase COULD have been interpreted as I am a jelly-filled doughnut, virtually no-one in the audience (Berliners) interpreted it that way. The context was clear.

I am... A jelly donut

Words to live by from JFK

Funny, we had a discussion on that quote too.

But did your German teacher drive a Volkwagen Beetle while playing The Zoo or other old Scorpions faves?

Mine did. Herr Mischke war sehr saugen.
