apparently it's a psychologically proven fact
that anyone can be bribed by offering them a sum of money that is equivalent to 10 x their annual salary.

i wonder if this is true.

10x what I earn, probably not.
10x what you earn, maybe.

depends on what the bribery is for

In my job, it'd likely be to do something illegal
There's no point being rich if you're in prison, and it doesn't matter how nice your house is if you can't sleep well at night.
Of course I've never been in the situation where I've been bribed, so whilst my sense of justice and what's right makes me think "No, I would never ever take a bribe", I'm not naive enough to think that actually being in the situation wouldn't change things.

It depends what I'm being bribed to do
that might buy "looking the other way while someone does something illegal" but it wouldn't get you "stab a guy" or even "remove your data from a police database".

it probably depends on what you're asking someone to do
as a lawyer, do you know if you'd get to keep the money if you're caught?

that would depend on the terms of the individual contract for payment
i read the original statistic somewhere. has always intrigued me.

It'd depend on what I was being asked to do.
There're a few things I could be bribed into with a packet of wine gums.

this, but booze
I made out with a girl for 3 dollars at my high school graduation party.
( Lisette von Falcon, Mon 18 Jul 2011, 15:04, Reply)

Hmmmm.
I reckon I can spare 3 dollars when I'm in New York. Do you get to pick the girl or do I?

you'd pick a munter

I've not kissed anyone since I've gotten my braces so it's unlikely I'll do it for his measly three dollahs

( Lisette von Falcon, Mon 18 Jul 2011, 15:16, Reply)

That's not bribery
That's being furnished with an excuse for lezzing it up.
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Mon 18 Jul 2011, 15:06, Reply)

it's totally bribery, we were 18, totally innocent. TOTALLY.

( Lisette von Falcon, Mon 18 Jul 2011, 15:11, Reply)

I have done similar for a bar of Cadbury's caramel
and a bottle of Reef.

what the hell am I saying? I've lezzed it up for free. The chocolate and the booze were just a bonus.

for real, I could buy a pack of smokes for that amount back then

( Lisette von Falcon, Mon 18 Jul 2011, 15:25, Reply)

I'll snog anyone for a polo mint.

( girlinthehole, Mon 18 Jul 2011, 15:34, Reply)

would you be allowed to have it before the kiss?

( Lisette von Falcon, Mon 18 Jul 2011, 15:35, Reply)

No, I want to enjoy the mint afterwards.

She hangs them off her clit piercing and waits for them to dissolve.
She likes the tingle.

I'll tingle you one day sunshine.

Yeah you will
next time I'm round at your house on my own, you'll tingle me all night long.

I hear they make a cream for that.

And a pessary.

I wouldn't be surprised if there were people on here who earned 10 x my annual salary.

Does suffer a bit of a "divide by zero" error though, that one...
