Be careful, make sure your boss doesn’t find out.
I’d hire this gal anytime (even with her robe)!
She’s doing a lot to make her profession more palatable!
How the heck do you dishonor your profession when you’re a LAWYER?
I think it’s a European thing.
Hilarious.
In my case, however, my profession brings disrepute to my playing (no, no, no. The only services I sell are automotive).
You’d think the court system would have something better to do…
Well, I’ve played whistles, my Uilleann Pipe practise set and Banjo here at the office before. I’m sure I’ll do it again too. I certainly hope it doesn’t bring any disrespect to the place. 
I play my Irish CDs all the time at work while doing computer work(Dervish,Joannie,etc)…but then,inside a penitentiary it’s hard to bring disrespect to much of anything..
Infuriating! Those confounded French! I’m going to pour a bottle of bordeaux into the river and call my breakfast “Freedom Toast” in protest!
Jim,
After much practice I’ve developed a sure-fire method for efficiently disposing of French wine, so if you want you (and any other C&F member concerned about this incident) can send me your unwanted wine and I will ‘process’ it. If you have a lot of French wine to get rid of, give me some warning so that I can arrange for some ‘colleagues’ to come round and help with the process.
Yours Magnanimously,
'Veg.
Serves her right for playing an accordian in the first place
Sweet Jesus! What is this world coming to? Suspended for playing our national instrument! Edith Piaf must be rolling over in her tomb. Now I know WHY I left France to live here…
I’m a civil servant, so my profession has no repute into which to be brought dis. Not since Margaret Thatcher, anyway.
I’m a full-time mom, so, by definition, ANYTHING I do is disreputable in my bos…er…my daughter’s eyes! “Moooommm! Do you have to play THAT here???”

Thus far, the only thing that my public whistle playing brings disrepute to is … my whistle playing. But, speaking of the Draconian treatment of street musicians, I have a friend who plays the HurdyGurdy–the real Hurdy Gurdy, not that organ grinder thing, and he ain’t got a monkey either. He lives in constant fear of getting busted, despite New York City’s otherwise liberal tolerance of street musicians. It seems that there is still a law on the books from around the turn of the century that specifically prohibits playing the Hurdy Gurdy and one or two other instruments associated, (IMHO) with central European and/or Italian immigrants. He believes that the framers of the ordinance meant the ‘organ grinder’ instrument and simply mis-named it. The last time I saw the guy he was wailing away outside Zabars–he sure knew where the bucks where, I’ll say that.

Good one! She looks to small to be wearing those bellows, fellows.
Everytime I type in “accordian” (or -ion) on eBay, I always get a lot of these results:

Sure!.. Like the New York court that entertained a lawsuit by overweight teenagers who blamed McDonald for their condition…
