A 59-year-old teacher from Washington decided to play along when one of his students Photoshopped a cover of Forbes magazine with the teacher’s face.

During a first class flight to Kauai with his wife, Steven Perez whipped out the Photoshop job and slapped it over a New Yorker magazine he found on the flight to take the now viral photo. 

The picture features Perez wearing sunglasses with a bold title, “Perez Unbound,” and was created by one of his students from Hanford High School. The joke came about after Perez got into a discussion with some of his students about the smugness of first class passengers. 

“If they look at you going back to your seat, they are quietly saying, I am better than you,” said Perez in an interview with the real Forbes magazine.

Editor’s Tip: Do you have beautiful photos but aren’t sure how to display them? Turn them into large format prints! See what your photos look like as fine art.

Perez’s wife, who accompanied him on his first first-class flight for their 35th wedding anniversary, tweeted the photo and it immediately found its way over to Reddit’s r/funny channel where it exploded.

As far as April Fool’s jokes go, we’d consider this one pretty pure.
