I'll start.

Comic Sans walks into a bar and orders a beer. The bartender looks at him with a squinty eye and says; "Sorry, but we don't serve yer' type 'round here".

That must be the politically correct version.
The last time I heard it, it was a couple of type designers (who shall remain fashionably anonymous).

M.

I thought I made it up...:-(

NEXT...

What about the Dutch type desginer who got stopped on the Belgian border with a car load of 'e's.

Matha.

I thought he was stopped for smuggling marijijijijijuana?

hhp

No, but he was filmed rolling a 'j'

M.

BTW I'll pay for the call if you pronounce marijijijijijuana for me ;-)

M

Wait, I need my sombrero to do that right.

Ha-ha! This wasn't a dutch type designer. This was an argentinian type designer living in Amsterdam.

Wasn't that the guy who went to the physiotherapist with a torn ligature?

Non, attendez, il avait mal au Q !

M

We Canadians get mocked for our A's, but we're proud of M.

Matha: Ouais, je C!

What percentage of the population would actually think this is funny? This is funny.

I just made this up... (I hope)

What were "x" and "z" overheard saying about "y"?
"Lets keep it between you and me."

How many type designers does it take to change a lightbulb?

Does it have to be a lightbulb?

I am laughing out loud here! Ha Ha!

all of them

one to hold the bulb
and all the others to revolve the world around him/her

Quick... the punchline is: "tight but not touching!"

Surely there must be a joke to go with it...

What did George W. Bush say to Tony Blair...?

"I don't know, what?"

I don't know either but I was rather hoping for something like "tight but not touching!"

Better luck next time

What did the ascending and non-ascending letters say to the descenders?

"You are really bringing the rest of us down."

I'm still laughing about that belt thing!

A letter " r " (not Comic Sans) walks into a bar and orders a beer. The bartender looks at him with a squinty eye and says; "That'll be 2.50".
The " r ' replies - "Just put it on my bill."

-smc

PS. "r "s drink cheap beer and they go to bars all the time.

What did Baskerville say about Mrs Eaves?

"Shes funky and shes just my type."

-smc

Hey, can I be the joke Moderator?

A couple of Rs, Apple Helvetica and Microsoft Arial, are comparing their features. "My legs are nice and parallel," Helvetica says. "You've got one kicked out to the side. It's ugly."

"Well, excuse me," Arial replies, "but you're no Miss Univers either."

No West Virginia-type jokes with a "let's keep it in the family" ending?

Y'all have been so wholesome... either that or I ought to get my mind out of the gutter (ha!)...

Verdana to Arial: You're grotesque!

Arial: Well, akzidentz do happen.

What did the 0 say to the 8?

"Nice belt."

I don't know about that. A few more of these and they might throw you out :-)
