Recently at Saint, there has been a growing movement where people have been creating jokes which would be appreciated by those who use Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash etc.

Although this is more than a little tragic, some other ‘people’ may find these jokes amusing. So, i thought it would be worthwhile putting them on the blog. If i start the ball rolling with some, hopefully the others will chuck some more up. Richard Barrett is the master at this and has asked if he could anonymously post some. So, yes, by all means Rich, please do. Hopefully we can get enough material that it ‘could’ fill an entire stand up routiene – if your audience were ‘niche’ enough.

I warn you in advance, this is some very subtle humour.

1)
Q: Why did the psd cross the road?
A: Coz it wanted to get flattened

2)
A vector file went on holiday to Jamaica
It came back rasterised

Here are some visual Photoshop Jokes that i have nicked from the interweb

    Photoshop was at the circus, he went up to the refreshment stall and asked whether they had any alcohol as the clowns freaked him out a bit and he needed to calm his nerves. "We have got beer here" said the guy behind the bar. "I was after something a little stronger" said Photoshop. "Ah" said the bartender, "Then you'll have to see the Acrobat Distiller".
