“She added fill dirt to make it a dry area for her kids again. The city got an injunction against her, and she had to remove the fill. Now, for most of the year, she has a bug infested swamp for a yard!”

One of my favorite “bribery” stories. My father was building a development serviced by the City of Cleveland Water Dept. The City wouldn’t respond to request for hookups, until they discovered that my Dad was putting a bottle of Jim Beam at every location where he needed a water connection. From then on, they responded immediately, and did as many as a dozen a day!
