Haha, he got out almost crying and hugged me and said thanks and he has just had the worst day in a long time that could have got even worse.
Before I retired, I had access to the most ridiculously powerful magnets I have ever seen. Downright dangerous to get your finger between two half dollar sized examples. They would certainly clamp hard enough to raise a good blood blister, maybe even hard enough to break a bone.

So, of course, I thought is was funny as hell to put one in the bottom of a Starbucks cup, or inside of my wallet, and put it on the roof of my car as I drove home from work. Out on the freeway at 70+ mph. People honking and pointing, all in a twitter. Not a one of them considering just how on Earth a paper coffee cup could stay on my roof at those speeds. Good times...
