Add :
1) The last two digits of the year of my birth (posted on this site) to
2) The last two digits of the first year a hat-trick was scored in the Soccer World Cup Final.
Then, think of :
'Ich bin ein Berliner'.
Who and what is the result?

When JFK said 'Ich bin ein Berliner', this is where he screwed up, because what he effectively said was 'I am a jam doughnut' ein Berliner being a Berlin style delicacy. He should of course have said 'Ich bin Berliner' meaning I am a Berliner :!:

I'll tidy up again as no takers :

Early morning exercise = PT
I was born 1943, Last World Cup Final hat-trick in 1966 = 43+66 = 109.

PT 109 was the boat commanded by J.F.K. in W.W.2, sunk after a collision with a Japanese vessel in the Pacific.
