I found more corruption in the NHS than anywhere else I have worked.

I particularly recall a conversation:

My boss had been refused some funding, he said pay for it from your slush fund. (He was American)

His boss: "I don't have a slush fund"!

My boss began listing a range of increasingly embarrassing counters to that assertion.

It did not take long for his boss to acquiesce: of course he could find the funds if he chose to so do!
