The Rhine River flows north through Basel, Switzerland. Basel is very similar to Morgantown in this respect. The people in Basel have a saying, “Sagst doch em fairyma.” Your friend might tell you this, if he or she sees you are troubled. It means, “Hey take it easy, go to the river take the fairy boat and let your worries be washed away with the river.” In other words, Sagst doch em fairyma translates, “go tell the fairy man.”
