Don't be silly. "Our high ethical standards wouldn't allow us to be influenced by commercial interests."

I sometimes wonder, though. Last time I was at my doctor's office, a drug rep walked in with a large box of Krispy Kremes, to the delight of the office staff. Probably just a one-time event, though. "Move along, please; nothing to be seen here."
