monkeys love peanuts

i've been calling around for accountants. just to see what is out there.the people i call are all highly recommended referrals from people i work with.after calling a few i get quite a large range of prices (this is for corporate account+personal)...

jae:
[just getting off the phone with another CA]
she was $1600.

jacques:
[raises his eyebrows]
that is bullsh!t.

jae:
the last one was $600. why such a huge descrepency?!

[jacques raises his eyebrows again.]

jae:
it makes me weary about the ones that are cheaper....

jacques:
well,... you know... you know what they say... 'you pay peanuts you get monkeys'...

jae:
[a bit perplexed 'cause the saying sounds familiar but not exactly right] [pause]
monkeys don't like peanuts.

jacques:
[raises eyebrows even further. in a very quiet whispered voice] [pause]
... they love peanuts.


the fact that jacques says this even though he is trying to sell me on his very inexpensive accountant makes it even more ... 'jacques-funny'. or, as i like to say, 'jacqunny'.
