Not exactly an argument, but I once overheard a restaurant owner bribing a cop. It was an Italian restaurant in San Francisco. Kind of unsettling, but the food was great, and reasonably priced. 4 stars.

I lost contact with everyone I knew in school, but curiosity got the better of me and I tried a web search a few years ago (he had a very unusual name). Turns out he died in a fight when still pretty young. I wasn’t surprised.
