Re: At last.

There is a lignite strip mine in Poland near the German border and a conveyor belt crosses the border where the Germans process the stuff. The Germans mount a large electromagnet over the belt to remove any tools that are accidentally in the lignite. The Germans then sell the recovered tools back to the Poles.
