Graphic Designer Jokes
After going through some of the many viola jokes with my good friend Dmitri (who plays both the violin and occasionally, when he is about to die of starvation, a viola as well), he asked if there were any web designer or graphic designer jokes. I guess the only one actually is this page returned…
