"Three Italic fonts die together in a bad book design and go to Typo-Heaven.

When they get there, St. Peter Karow says, "We only have one rule here in Typo-Heaven: Don't step on the Dutch!"

So they enter heaven, and sure enough, there are Dutch all over the place. It is almost impossible not to step on a Dutch, and although they try their best to avoid them, the first Italic accidentally steps on one.

Along comes St. Peter with the ugliest Roman she ever saw. St. Peter put them together in a suitcase and says, "Your punishment for stepping on a Dutch is to spend eternity chained to this ugly Roman!"

The next day, the second Italic steps accidentally on a Dutch and along comes St. Peter, who doesn't miss a thing. With him is another extremely ugly Roman. He chains them together with the same admonishment as for the first Italic.

The third Italic has observed all this and, not wanting to be chained for all eternity to an ugly Roman, is very, VERY careful where she steps. She manages to go postscript months without stepping on any Dutch.

One day St. Peter comes up to her with the most handsome Roman she has ever laid eyes on. St. Peter chains them together without Word.

The happy Italic says to the Roman, "I wonder what I did to deserve being chained to you for all eternity?"

The Roman says, "Well, I don't know about you, but I stepped on a Dutch!"
