HOOK (first 3 seconds spoken):
A German worker spotted a dead rat near the coal pile, but when he tossed it

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FULL SCRIPT:
A German worker spotted a dead rat near the coal pile, but when he tossed it into the furnace, the whole boiler exploded instantly. You see, British soldiers would intentionally hide explosives inside dead rats and put them inside the Germans weapons factories. This method actually worked for the first few days, but the Germans eventually caught up to it, but it was too late. The paranoia alone forced the Germans to pull thousands of soldiers off the front lines just to inspect every coal pile in every factory across Germany.
