Grease the Wheel

If you travel often to areas that are off the beaten path, then you're probably familiar with bribery. In most countries around the world -- especially developing ones -- using bribes is the only way to get things done, or sometimes just a handy way of getting out of trouble. Check out this analysis of a report ranking all the countries by how corrupt they are.

Which, for once, is a good thing.
