Bribes

In my first semester I received a couple of bribe offers.  One - "My father owns a pharmacy he can get you any drugs you want..."  was backed up later by a call from the father reiterating the son's point.  Another was an offer of cash for a better grade.  I didn't ask how much because, well, I don't take bribes.

As I was thinking about the student above I thought, "I'm surprised I don't get more bribe offers."  Offering me several hundred or even several thousand dollars would be mere pocket change for this family.

I'm not disappointed, just surprised.
