It's so funny!
It turns out, the stereotypical "German" word "FARfignoogen" (better said than spelled-!) actually IS a word! How many times have we been joking about a German word we know and used it, knowing it couldn't be so. Well I had been commenting to Grady the other day about what a funny word "vergnuegen" (to find pleasure in or enjoy) is to say, and he joked about it being related to this comic "German" word which lead to today when I had an epiphony about it, realizing he was absolutely right!

So there you go. You will know a German word next time you visit here, and although the original doesn't sound exactly like the English ripped-off version, if you say it fast enough I bet no one will notice. The only question remains, what kind of statement would you use it with? Maybe, "How's your fun of driving been lately?" or "Have a nice driving pleasure!" Hmm. Gotta think about the practical application...

Allsion hon, you are absolutely beautiful. I Miss you and wish you the best of luck over in Germany.
It's good to know you haven't lost your odd sense of humor since I departed. And FYI, my fun of driving ended the other day when I ran over that skunk.
You crack me up Allison. I totally forgot about that word!
