While on train ride in Denmark in 1979 on  jazz tour with the Sons Of  
Bix, I grabbed severeal photos of a village sign through the open window 
as we rolled through a small hamlet.
It read  -- "MIDDLEFART."
I can see someone from Denmark visiting over here and answering the 
usual question..."Where are you from?"
"MIDDLEFART."
The answer might be met with some gasps -- or maybe giggles after a 
slight silent hesitation.
