    German trench digging contract company driving into a war zone, setting up orange cones, and saw horse barriers telling everyone that this area is under construction and won’t be ready until next Tuesday.

    Tractor starts noisily digging into the earth in full view of the British army …

    Someone shoots the tractor … “Hey! We’re working here!!!”

    British sniper sheepishly crawls back and gets scolded by everyone.

      The leader of the Germans stood with a triumphant roar.
      “I’ve got it! We shall build a machine that’s totally great!”.
      “A massive steel leviathan with blades covered in gore”.
      Beelzebub himself will fear the Bagger 188!
