Yes, Captain, it IS 50k vis and n'er a hairy cloud in sight and, yes, that is the airport we want to land at - BUT my map screen has failed so we will need an ILS...
Gawd 'elp us. No joke, either - happened to me going into Malmo a couple of years back, but it wasn't the map screen that had failed, just an ability caption on the F/O's forehead.
I have to agree, to be honest if someone is flying a 737 and has to ask how to figure out how to correct for winds in a visual pattern, because they can't figure it out by looking out of the window, all is lost.
