I once had to grease a custom official's palm to get out of a foreign country, a wad of bank notes worth about 45p which went straight into his pocket. In fact, everybody on our flight had to, the thieving scrote. Talk to us about corrupt officials, or confess your own wrongdoing. We won't tell anyone.
Thanks to Ye of Little Faith for the suggestion

earth to the other over the last 25 years.
All petty stuff, but often inappropriate.
My favourite was the request from a guy who was in charge of customs clearing goods in Lagos. This is a job we guessed was probably worth about 30 grand a year, tops.
He needed a new part for one of the gyroscopic instruments in his Cessna 182. At the time a second hand one of those would have set you back easy 100 grand.

You could buy the whole plane for 100 grand.

us to get it for him. We don't sell airoplane parts. We do (or in fact did, this was a while ago) sell things to Nigeria that require customs clearance.
Now, which part of "talk to us about corrupt officials" is it you're not getting, Dr Hawking?

Contrary to your expectations, I haven't been stalking you about the internet, and so am not au fait with the methods by which you earn your crust

Looking at it again, it wasn't very clear. Sorry for flinging shit.
I'll leave it as it is though, Dr quinch gets anxious if I change things. Like Rain man.

We're supposed to argue until one of us flounces off, or the thread gets deleted.

Now, take that apology back, before I jump in my Accord and fuck you up with my ninja training.
I know where you live, y'know.

I suppose that it never occurred to you that he was making commercial gain from the aeroplane and that is how he managed to own it.
