Couple Quick Accordion Jokes

I rip these bits from The Herald only because they're squeezebox-centric and because I've never heard them:

"It reminds us of the old gag: why do politicians make good accordionists? Because they are used to playing both ends off against the middle."

And:

"We were told once by a chap who struggled learning the accordion: 'All it was good for was teaching me how to fold a map.'"

Guess that second one isn't even a joke, really. And I neither one is all that funny. Oh well.
