CBRN (1998); "Don't Be a Piano Player in a Whorehouse"

[Page Stephens]

The sign which I had framed and placed above my desk when I worked at The
Cleveland State University was, "Don't tell my mother you saw me here. She
thinks I play piano in a whorehouse."

I stole it from someone or other whose name I have long since forgotten.
