A provincial town. On the eve of the building day, I receive a phone call from the administration. "To congratulate and solemnly hand over the honorary certificate by the Mayor of the city of N, the Director of LLC "___" to arrive at 13.00 in the Act Hall." “Well you understand, it’s not free, put in the envelope 5000 p.(pause), and if you want the mayor to congratulate the manager at the workplace, he can go to you, but it will cost you 15,000 r."
I give it to the boss. Answer: "Ask how much it will cost for the mayor to come with the entire administration and splash with the drum."
