    What sign in a Danish elevator had to be changed when Queen Elizabeth visited Copenhagen?

    Question #110992. Asked by author. (Nov 23 09 2:54 PM)

    		I wouldn't call this the most credible source, author, but it is the best I could find:

    I'm not at all surprised that Fartklubben ran afoul of tax regulations. BTW, "Fart" is of course "Speed" or "Motion" in Danish. An old story relates that when Queen Elizabeth came to visit one time, all the elevator annunciators had to be covered with tape as the buttons were labeled "I Fart" ("In motion").

    		In German "fahrt" means exit, so when driving on the autobahn every so often there is a sign that is hilarious.

    When the Queen visited Germany did they cover all these signs as well?
