List of design and font jokes

Here's a collection of fonts about jokes and graphic design found around the internet. (thanks to Tom Saaristo for emailing me this first joke)

-----
Four fonts walk into a bar.
The barman says, "Get out! We don't want your type in here."

-----
How many designers does it take to change a light bulb?
Couldn't say--ask an account executive.

-----
How many web designers does it take to change a lightbulb?

Three. One to change the structure, one to update the style, and one to blog about the inadequate bulb support offered by today’s socket manufacturers.

-----
What font did the astrologist use to write the daily horoscopes?
Futura

-----
1st Designer: “Wow, you always have so many fonts, where do you get them from?”

2nd Designer: “Oh they come from Monaco, Geneva, Chicago, New York… I get them delivered at various Times throughout the day…”

1st Designer: “By who?”

2nd Designer: “A Courier!”

-----
What did Helvetica say to Arial?
You're such a copy cat.

-----
What did the horse say to Bordeaux?
Why the long type face?

-----
One font meets the other in Rome. He asks: "Hey, are you a roman too?" "No," says the other, "but i'm an Italic!"

-----
A font walks up to Gill Sans and asks: "do you want to go out with me?". But Gill Sans says "no". "Why don't you want to go out with me?" the other font asks. Gill Sans: "Because you're Grotesque!"

If you have anymore puns about fonts or jokes about graphic design, please leave them in the comments.

Is Arial really a copy of Helvetica? I've recently started appreciating Arial, as long as it's bolded and at 8.5. I know a few designers who LOVE Helvetica and I never understood it until I started playing with the tiny but bold Arial.

great jokes. I'm rolling on the floor with laughter. Well, not really. But they still are very amusing.

history of Arial:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arial
basically, Microsoft ripped off Helvetica in 1982. What a surprise. Microsoft ripped off someone else's work.

Arial lacks the refinement and diversity/assortment Helvetica does. While the differences are small, they can be appreciated. Helveticas upper case R for example.
