a monk can use special monk weapons with flurry of blows. he can also use weapon finesse with flurry of blows.
but what if the weapon used (say, a quarterstaff) doesn't normally work with weapon finesse?
in other words, if bob the monk uses a quarterstaff with flurry of blows, does weapon finesse apply to his attack rolls?

No. If the weapon cannot be used with weapon finesse, then you cannot use dexterity to attack just because you are using flurry of blows. A monk can only use weapon finesse with flurry of blows because unarmed strikes and other light monk weapons are usable with weapon finesse, so using a weapon not compatible with weapon finesse in a flurry does not suddenly grant that weapon the ability to be used with weapon finesse.
