The Swiss aren’t known for being hilarious, but what about this.

There is a very scenic railway that runs between Domodossola in Italy and Locarno in Switzerland. It’s famed for its dramatic scenery. But wait for the best part. It’s managed jointly by an Italian company and a Swiss company, and the Swiss company is called Ferrovie Autolinee Regionali Ticinesi, which revels, glories and basks in its acronym FART. Did I really just contribute this?

As we childishly giggle I am reminded of a trucking firm in the US called DART. The logo is actually a diamond, and it pierces the D from the front. In a quick glance it looks like FART. I do not see those trucks much anymore, and I always wanted them to change the logo, just a bit.

That's very funny. Some Asian people who come to Australia get advised to change their names as some Asian don't sound very nice to English-speakers.
