    When Joergen came home on leave from the army, none of the girls were surprised that the the army hadn’t issued him a rifle to carry around, but had instead given him a squeeze box. That’s just the sort of man that he was.

    More than 30 years ago now, my son had a Suzuki Samurai and he got a bumper sticker for it that said, “Play An Accordion, Go To Jail.”

    Accordion to his research, 3 out of 3 were much happier after he played - than during.

    The accordion shatters the void!/ All tranquillity is destroyed/- as the sound of woe/ disrupts the flow/ of maids usefully employed.// It had been a peaceful week./ Productivity reached a peak/ – then Helmut walked in/ with his weapon of din/ to emit his first piercing shriek. // Now the chamber’s a hotbed of tension/ a morass of strife and dissension/ he’s driving them nuts/ but who has the guts/ the source of the problem to mention?/// Before the day reaches its end/ somebody will murder a friend/ but who will extol/ the instrument’s role ?/ Not a soul – though it’s clearly a trend.

    Honorable Mention In The Banjo Toss Premium Member over 3 years ago

    An accordionist, on his way to a gig, stops for a cup of coffee to go. He’s nervous, because its a bad neighborhood, and his accordion is in the back seat. He locks the car, hurries to the coffee shop, and on his way back, sees that the back window has been broken out. Sure enough, there are two more accordions in the back seat.

    Though, in the interest of fairness, there are accordionists like Angelo DiPippo and Astor Piazzola, who do some pretty cool and amazing stuff on the instrument.

    Either the accordion is on your knees, or I am. But not both at the same time.

    Yes, I suppose you will hear different sounds if I’m sitting on your knees.
