So I'm working on a guys house. This house is way more expensive than this guy should be able to afford (I'm speculating of course but I know this guy through another client and what he "does for a living" and if that's all he does, he can't afford this house).

The first deposit he gives me a cheque for, about $18k. It bounces and he is very apologetic. He says it was the wrong account and the next day he gives me a brick of cash.

Later in the job it was time to pay another payment. About $5k. He says I'll get you cash this after noon. He was there in the morning dressed casually. Lunch time comes around and he puts on a nice black suit. He tells me he he's got to go take care of some business and returns later with my cash in a brown paper bag.

I don't ask questions. Maybe I've seen too many movies. But people don't get dressed up to go to the bank and money doesn't come in brown paper bags.

I guess it's not really a quote is it. How about, "Do you take cash"?

Craig.
