I hope you are not encouraging bribery.

note for the humor impaired- NOT a true story, although I have been known to tell it before, when offered (jokingly, I hope, but I have never taken it further) bribes for answers or better grades.
My father is a judge (that part is true) In one case, he was offered a bribe of $1000 from one party, and $1500 from the other party.
Being a fair man, he returned $500, and judged the case on its merits.
Learning from him, I too, have a firm policy on bribes, of accepting them, but not acting on them. Feel free to donate to my cause, it will not affect your evaluation/grade one point.
This also applies to emotional bribes, such as complimenting me on my appearance or brilliance. Although such comments are always welcome, they will not affect your grade.
