    Have you seen my legs? I had a lady once copping a feel in front of God and everybody at Casino Arizona at one of the poker tables.

    She bet another lady at her table $20 that I shaved my legs.

    So I had to let them rub my leg. I'm Hungarian, so not like super hairy.

    So anyway, after about 20 seconds, I was like "Ok. You're copping a feel now."

    Show 'em some leg.

    I was leased to a well known east coast bedbug agent in the Philadelphia area who is still in business. The organization was so corrupt the dispatchers not only expected kickbacks from the lease drivers, they had their own trucks leased on. Where do you think the best loads went?

    Let's not sugarcoat it. Anything you give to someone in a decision making capacity is a kickback. Call me naive, but if you think that is an effective way to do business, the other thieves better have some sort of honor code.

    I will minimize my exposure to such behavior. It can only lead to problems.

    So... you're saying a suitcase full of 20's is out of the question? Asking for a friend.

    My boss often jokes that a $50 will go along way, to which I reply, so will a VNL 860, but since I'm not driving an 860, you're not getting an extra $50.

    I have a coworker who takes a couple of different customers either out to breakfast, or buys them donuts or burritos. My boss always tells me I should do this, so I did, spent $50 on pizza for one place, put it all on the company credit card. When I turned in the receipt, they asked what it was for, my boss just shook his head. I told him it was his idea, not mine, so, I'm spending his money, not mine.

    When I ran a crew for a construction co, the inspector on every job always ate lunch for free, and some drank beer for free after work too, which I liked, I just turned in the receipts and it included what I ate and drank. lol
