CorruptionI 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

Czech it outOctober 1998, and for some reason which escapes me the UK had fallen out with the Czech republic, which is where I was going for work. So off the passport went for a special visa, all good.
Then we got to the border and the border guards said no way - they didn't recognise the visa, hence lining of pockets was had
Therefore I can say hand on heard I've bribed border guards $100 cash to cross in to a country and successfully put it on expenses:)

Funny thing is. That would be explicitly illegal in the UK now due to anti-corruption laws. Makes me wonder how people manage in places where bribes to officials are de-rigeur but there are no laws specifying they must be paid?

Isn't that what slush funds are for?Subtly redefined as "entertainments allowances", or some such?
