So starts a story
Filled with mirth and dreadful deeds
From "T'was a morning".

Spoiler: show

"T'was a morning" could be the starting line of any novel in geneal, I believe.

"But I think we're lost!"
Yes, your GPS is on the Franz.
Now let me read maps.

Spoiler: show

While the correct English idiom is "on the fritz", an onomatopoeia of electric sparks flying, there also is the mostly-forgotten German habit of referring to the pilot as "Fritz" and the navigator as "Franz" - with the surviving idiom being "verfranzen" for "to (fail at navigation and) get lost".

BTW, I'm looking forward to a business trip in early May. With the usual "I can see a major FAIL coming for us from miles away!"-grade preparation I remember from our secretary. Yes, I will be bringing physical maps to that "yay, IT in the cloud is oh so modern!" gig. :P
