Here, take this, and a banjo

I just have to tell Randy Lewis how much I enjoy his writing and wit (“The Story You Are About to See Is True,” July 29). As an old accordion player, I love anything that refers to my favorite instrument. I’m sure you’ve heard this one, but here goes:

A man parks on the street in San Francisco to run an errand and leaves his accordion on the backseat in his car.

After a few minutes he returns and cries, “Oh no!” He can see the back window is broken. “Someone has stolen my accordion,” he thinks. Instead he finds a second accordion and a banjo (make this a bagpipe, tuba or ... ?).
