Translated: The proper bribes were not paid to city officials.

- jpdoctor 15y ago> What kinds of permits do you consider bribes? Just as engineering students learn skills while working summer internships, architectural students learn how to offer a bribe. As it was explained to me: Everyone in the transaction must maintain plausible deniability. For example: For a house inspection, move a $100 bill from one pocket to another when something out-of-code is found. If the inspector tell you he'll overlook it, then the $100 is dropped someplace conspicuous.
