Back in the days, I used to deal quite often with people who were running skim-off funds, slush funds, building improvement trusts - they had a variety of names. What they had in common was a source of funds that was kept very confidential and were controlled by one or a few persons only. Whilst they were fiddles, they were more short-circuits of fiscal controls.
However, sometimes, the guy in charge found themselves in need of a temporary - or longer - boost to their funds. Ah! the good old slush fund. That is when things got dirty. Suppose it still goes on really. Nice young couple find themselves a bit short of the mortgage money. Put in extra effort but still a bit hard-up and not rewarded as they feel they deserve.
The picture is just here as a joke you understand. No connection with the story of course.
