I wrote about it twice in 2009 (BADFARTEN and TURISTFART)
and again in 2010... (KRISTI HIMMELFART)
and even though I am a woman of a MATURE age, I still giggle when I see it in print! I just cannot help myself. Yes, I know the word "fart" in Danish is usually talking about speed, like when the authorities post signs for FART KONTROL (still a favorite), but this headline in last week's Herning Folkeblad sent me over the edge as I thought about my own family....
Would you say that your family could be described using today's adjective?? FARTGLAD
Yeah, yeah, I know this merely means that the family likes hanging out at the go-cart track and racing things.... but oh the directions your mind can go when you read headlines like this one!
Happy Monday!

LOL! :) German has that, too. Imagine singing "Schlittenfahrt" to the tune of Jingle Bells!
It is funny how(we)more mature people can resort to childhood humor, even when sober!
Love it... it never gets old!
Hi Kelli,
I have been reading your blog a bit from time to time. I am a friend of Nichole and Michael whom I know you have visited in Lyngby.
I just want to ask if you have been in a lift that says "i fart" when running? It makes me smile even if I am a Dane :-)

I think we have the same sense of humor. keep sending the fart jokes.
Personally, I like the 'farts demper' singns before speed tables/bumps.
heehee.
