Some things have changed and some haven't

Recently watched an old rerun of Sanford and Son. It was the episode where Fred waited until April 15th to get his tax returns finished. His accountant made a house visit to do some of the work. He charged Fred $20. Fred owed $100 to the IRS and he complained about it.

Fred complained about the $20 also. The accountant said he would accept $10 up front and $10 on account. Fred made a fist sign and said how about I'll give you five.

In fairness to Fred, that was 50 years ago so prices have changed a little, although his "five" hasn't been affected by inflation.
