It wasn't me. You can't prove anything.

Notes:

There ae at least 12 words for 'bribe' used in Afghanistan. I'm trying to think how many words we have in the U. S. that mean the same thing as 'bribe'. I'm thinking of phrases like 'kick back', 'greasing the wheels', 'cross the palm [with silver]'. There must be hundreds. No single words come to mind. 'Graft' is more than bribes. 'Corruption' is just generic.
