What do drummers wish more accordion players knew?

Ah yes , the accordion! I was forced into lessons as a kid ( 11-12) after already playing clarinet and other woodwinds . I may have stuck with it ( wish I did) if the teacher wasn’t 100 years old, looked like Abe Vigoda and smelled heavily of old spice and mothballs 🤢🤑🤮.
Hey! I wear Old Spice, dammit!
Anyone remember the 'Surfer in a barroom doorway' ad? (Poss. UK only)
 
Posted this before - but it's my fave drummer joke, and this thread is a sitting duck for accordion-based humour...

Drummer gets tired of being considered the least intelligent band member - and goes to the music store to pick a couple of new instruments to learn.
Has a good look around and goes to the salesman: "Hi, I'd like to buy the red trumpet - and the white accordion please."
Salesman rubs his chin for a second and says "Ok, you can have the fire extinguisher - but I'm not taking that damn radiator off the wall".
