I bribed some Mexican cops to let my girlfriend's brother go. They'd caught him toking up in his van outside of a strip joint we were in
 Poor guys... they thought they were going to be able to get a few hundred from us. They ought to know that the gringo tourists keep the real cash in their socks or underwear and only a few bucks in their wallets... I convinced 'em that ~$58 was all I had

Hmmmmm, while most of the replies seem to be directly about sex ...... I don't think I would ever sleep with my disbursing officer. The tapes, whatever implications they may have held, was enough!

I was in Italy with my school. I was a jr in highschool at the time. My math teacher (23) and I got seperated. I told her since I had been roudy on this trip I would buy her dinner. We ended up at this little resturant out of the way and kind of hard to find. We some how stumbled upon it. It was small, quiet, and your very sterotypical romantic resturant. Anyway we had dinner including wine. I payed with a credit card and kept the receipt.
Later, the next morning on the bus ride from Rome to Florence, I asked her how my grades were doing. She told me I needed to pass the next 2 tests to pass. (math wasnt my strong point.) I told her I sure would like to pass with atleast a strong B. She said I had better study. I then asked her what the school would think about this receipt which listed date, time, location and what was served including the wine. I told her it would probably be a bad thing if the school found out we we're "dating." She had a great sense of humor about it and I got my "B." A year later after she was no longer my teacher we revisited the dating situation for a couple of months. I still have the reciept in my highschool year book. |

I 'might' know of a customs guy in another country who 'might' have somehow got surprised with a 'gift' from an 'unspecified donor' of JW Red and cigarettes (Marlboro Reds, of course) after 'they' met during someone's efforts to get a (legally importable) motorcycle into said country that same day.
(The statute of limitations has, I'm relatively certain, expired on this one).I have been prepared, for Mom, her apple pie, God, and my Country, to 'do whatever was necessary' to get certain things accomplished, but I always seemed to find a (more legal) alternative. (I.e., no money or transferrable goods changed hands in my presence, but I might have paid for lunch or something). I don't recall exactly. I think I'm getting senile, maybe.Baksheesh, or whatever you want to call it, is an accepted practice, some places. "When in Rome...."

The wait to get through the check in at the Joburg, South Africa airport was about two hours. Five dollars got an idle check in station back in operation just for me and my hunting partner. We felt special. Also I always give the gun case handler a couple of bucks to make sure my guns get loaded on the plane. I have never lost a gun case. Lots of other people have.

Bribe? Never. Baksheesh? A way of life in the Middle East. I have greased the palms of many customs officials, travel agents, hotel staff, restaurant owners, you name it to make things go more smoothly overseas. I have also steadfastly refused to pay bribes to highway bandits, I mean highway patrol officers, in Bulgaria. That one almost landed me in jail (or worse) but eventually I was on my way without having to pay "special road tax." I just had to be a bigger asshole than they were being, which isn't that much of a stretch, really.

He probably ate for a week on what you gave him. I used to have to baksheesh my way into the long-distance telephone office, before mobile phones and before hotels had long-distance lines. To call the US from Alexandria, you had to make an in-country long-distance call to the AT&T operator in Cairo, then use a calling card. Cash only for the in-country LD call, which wasn't a whole lot, probably 5-6 LE. The problem was that there was always a long que to get in. I quickly learned that there was an "express" line for "special customers." Very nice. After a while, I was able to arrange it so that they would make the call to Cairo, then patch it to me at the shitty hotel. That cost an extra 5 LE, but well worth it. |

Never bribed anyone official, but my uncle has had to bribe federales on several trips into Mexico. One had quite a racket going. Anybody who stopped to ask him for directions, which was often since it was a tourist town, would be directed down a certain road... going the wrong way in a one-way street. He'd then pull them over, demand $20 USD or he'd give them a ticket and impound their car. Once he got the bribe, he'd go back to his post and wait for the next sucker. That was just one instance.
My grandfather didn't have to bribe anyone, but he did get the better of some crooked federales. The whole family was going to Mexico for the day and he parked on the US side of the border and walked across. Some guy sold him a jar full of opals (illegal in Mexico) and he decided to stick them in a wooden chest my grandmother had bought and send my uncle back to put it in the car so they wouldn't have to carry everything around. He did so and they spent the rest of the day shopping. Well, on the way he got stopped by some federales and the opal seller ID'd my grandfather as being the one he'd sold the opals to. Apparently, he too had a racket going- sell opals to unsuspecting tourists, then the federales bust them and give him back his opals and a cut of the fine. My uncle slipped past because they weren't looking for a teenager, but an older man with a family. They searched everybody, didn't find the opals, and reluctantly let them go. So my grandfather not only got past some crooked SOB's, but he kept the opals too.

I bribed the Federales too.
It's funny that I was at the police station getting booked and I just completely was not worried. The advantages of being 19 I guess. I would crap my pants now. They gave me back my truck too, which was nice. I drove a brand new Dodge Ram there. |

When I was PCS'in gout of Okinawa I was told I couldn't bring large car parts back in my household goods shipment.
The day of the move I had a room full of wheels, Recaro seats, hoods and bumpers that I spent about $700 on. I gave Japanese movers a case of Budweiser, got my car parts back to the U.S., and sold them for about $5,000.  Step 1: Bribe Step 2: ? Step 3: Profit! |

your expecting the rule of law to stop the weapons ? same way to get out a ticket .. just cost a little more.. My family has property in a couple of places in Mexico . the weapons are not to protect against thieves and the unwashed.. its to protect againt the drug runners and the troops that protect them . oddly .. the drug runners leave you alone..< unless you make it your mission to fuck with them .. > its the troops that give you a hard time.. |
