Isn't there a law that says play an accordion go to jail? That would explain why no one has claimed it.

Maybe so. I have played polka gigs with accordion players, but never have played a gig with a bagpiper.

I have played with a bagpiper, but not as a duet. The piper would play "Amazing Grace" and then I would play "taps". Usually, I would make sure that I would be as far from the piper as possible. "I think the bag contains "kooties"".

More than two hours. More than 30 police, fire and rescue workers. And more than enough police cars and big trucks to widen the eyes of three dozen youngsters in day care, all to investigate a suspicious package that turned out to be ... an accordion.

Really?

Don't take the accordion threat lightly!!!! Accordions are clear and present danger to civilization.............

I know it makes a great joke, but seriously - 30 30 police, fire and rescue workers? Multiple police cars?

What were they thinking?

I suspect they had absolutely nothing running through their heads.

Had that case been full of C4, I'm not sure they brought enough people.......

Why would someone fly a plane into each twin tower? Why would someone gas a train in Tokyo? Why would someone kill 6 million Jews just because they were Jews?

The answer? There are evil people in the world who believe the means justifies the end. They are not simply oppressed and misunderstood poor souls who have lost their way. They are evil. They sometimes kill other people just to make other people afraid. You used to know this........
