Not cheating, but a question from accoutning:

Some years ago, 5 weeks into a six month stint in Tokyo, the company moved me from a hotel to an apartment, and changed my meal limits from 7000Y/day to 35Y/week. This was actually fine, since I could buy groceries and cook a few days a week, saving money, and then do something nicer when I did go out.

Expenses were paid directly by the Japanese office.

So one day, needing a break from Japanese food, I go to KFC. I order something like a 12 piece, to go, so I'll have leftovers for a couple of other meals. Well, the girls in accounting couldn't understand that - maybe leftover reheated chicken isn't something the Japanese would eat? Anyway, they paid it, but spread the word, and for a week the office was snickering about the crazy American who ate 12 pieces of chicken at once.
