Here we can make a connection to another thread in this excellent NG: the one about elevators.

Years ago, the English queen was visiting Denmark. As usual, a minion checked beforehand the things she was supposed to do, and he suddenly paled beyond belief. Nobody could understand that, so they asked him why he did that. He pointed at the buttons used to call on the elevators, and said that they had to be covered with something or replaced with non-abusive ones. Still nobody understood, until he asked why the button said "I Fart". The danes said, well, it means "Occupied" or literally "In Transit"
