    I thought I might make a joke about the Deutsche Bahn but I don’t think it would go over well.

    Tap for spoiler

    Edit: I should add explanations.

    “To go over well” in German is “(gut) ankommen”. “Ankommen” also means “to arrive” - which Deutsche Bahn trains are notoriously bad at doing in a timely manner.

      Didn’t the German trains have such incredible reliability that they issued apology notes for workers when they arrived late, because bosses wouldn’t believe that’s why someone was tardy?
