Conductor, you don pay tithe?

Conductor, you don pay tithe? asked a policeman to the conductor of a vehicle I entered.

The first sentence that came to my head  was "Holy Christ, how can the word 'tithe' with its Biblical meaning be used by a policeman as a synonym to the word 'bribe' or 'egunje'?"

I decided to watch as events unfold and I saw the conductor giving the policeman an amount of money, after that, the driver continued driving.

Wide-eyed and open-mouthed, I said to myself "OMG! these policemen have really stepped-up their game. It's no longer 20 bucks but now 100 bucks!!"
