I had a situation this year that comes to mind when one considers someone trying to pay off an official. The cheerleaders in our town were raising money for something and they were selling Krispy Kreme donuts. (We have to have them flown into our town from Seattle) Well I bought a dozen and about 10 days later they arrived. As I was leaving the gym at night after working a kiddie game (6th grade). The mother of this cheerleader tells me that she has my donuts in her truck. (her son had just played in the game, and they won by two) I follow the mother and her son up to the parking lot and all the fans (about 50) are moving amongst the cars. She hands me this box of donuts and says fairly loud "thanks, we appreciate it." I told her this looks bad, really bad. Nothing like those small towns!
