I crossed the "packhorse bridge" at Trier from Luxembourg to Germany in a 
friend's Golf GTI once.  We were pulled over.
 
"Do you have anything to declare?"
   "No"
"Do you have any cigarettes?"
   "Yes, 200 duty-free"
"How many cigarettes do you have?"
   "200"
[Q&A repeated three times]
"Please get out of the car"
   "Why?"
"You have more than 200 cigarettes.  There's a packet with three in it on the 
 dashboard"

Five hours.  Who says the Germans aren't inventive?
