If I mix them up in mashed potatoes and then drown them in enough gravy to completely hide the taste, then maybe I can muscle them down.

But gifts that are attached to an expectation that you perform a certain action are almost certainly unethical. The question I wanted to put here was, “Does the gift feel like a bribe?” But then I thought that I sure wouldn’t feel bribed if I were driving my new speedboat, so I came up with a better one. And basically all this boils down to is: if you’re going to accept a bribe, make sure it’s big enough that you can live comfortably on it after you get caught and fired.
