Making other people laugh (with you, not at you) is one of the greatest pleasures you can accomplish in life. Putting a smile on people’s faces is priceless; hearing them laugh their hearts out is even better. You’ll discover a few methods of doing this if you have a funny bone. But some choose a particularly inventive approach, using signs and puns to make folks chuckle. And you know our passion for such. Roadside signs with clever puns are a specialty of Vince Rozmiarek from Colorado, often referred to as Vince the Sign Guy. We’ve gathered some of his best and most recent puns to brighten your day and ward off a bad mood. Prepare to roll your eyes, laugh out loud, and crack a joke.
That must have put a “wrench” in his plans
Nearly everyone wants that summer body when the warm weather comes. Who doesn’t like to feel comfortable in their own body? Plus, you don’t need to go and purchase new clothes because your old ones will fit you well.

So why would the sign guy pick a chemical like thinner? What’s the relationship between paint thinner and weight loss? Oh, we get it now! That’s some top-grade wordplay right there! He’s referring to losing weight and getting skinny, not the chemical. Now that’s funny!

Keeping it to the point
Let’s talk about book editors and newspaper editors. These people are the backbone when it comes to disseminating information clearly and effectively. These people have a lot of responsibilities, such as fact-checking and rewriting content for easy consumption.

We love the excellent wordplay here. Editors edit, which is making a long story short. The sign guy should immediately start designing crosswords for the New York Times. Can you imagine how those would turn out? They’re going to be a hit!
Can you “see” what he did there?
Mirrors have a special place in many cultures. In many countries, it’s a commonplace superstition that breaking a mirror brings seven years of bad luck. That’s because it is said to house a portion of the person’s soul, i.e., their reflection.

We are not here to dissect superstitions or scrutinize old beliefs if they are true. We’re here to appreciate this funny joke and laugh about it. It’s something you can’t deny; inspecting the mirror means there’s no avoiding seeing yourself in it.
Questions that make you break a sweat
With the heatwaves and spikes in temperatures we are experiencing worldwide, it’s time to reflect on how we’ve been treating earth for the last century. It’s equally important to be mindful of what you’re wearing, especially when staying outside for prolonged periods.

Breathable fabrics like cotton are ideal during the warm season. Sweaters are a no-go in this scenario. Can you imagine how much you’ll end up sweating? The clue is in the name! Also, who is really the “sweater” here? We need to put our thinking hat on.
Here’s one joke that “aged” well
The sign guy has moved on to science with this particular endeavor. But we’d like to know why he wants to marry a carbon dating specialist. Is it because he has artifacts that need dating? But a lifelong commitment to that?

Well, the punchline lies in the word dating. Now this is how you should construct a joke! Carbon 14 is used to “date” the age of things, and in a sense, the specialist wants to keep things casual instead of committing to something serious.
You won’t get “bored” of this joke
Not every kid is a fan of boarding school. Having to stay away for months from your home and friends can put a damper on the excitement of going somewhere new. There would be some solace if your friends were in the same institution too.

But what has an airplane got to do with a boarding school? Oh, we get it! Boarding! As in getting into the aircraft with a pass. We’re curious where sign guy gets inspiration for his jokes because we’d like to go to the same place. Our jokes haven’t been faring well lately.
Wear appropriate wear, where you end up going
From a beverage point of view, coffee is today’s most popular drink. With colonial influence back in the day, tea once had the monopoly, but coffee has slowly inched past it on the list of drinks people can’t live or function without.

The global coffee industry is valued at $490 billion, but coffee isn’t welcome everywhere. Some places are still loyal to tea. Having said that, you shouldn’t wear a T-shirt to a coffee club. Wear a dress shirt; it’s more formal and less likely to invoke the ire of coffee lovers.
Yeah, we can af(ford) to make that joke!
Ford car models remind us of that old meme about Harrison Ford. An image of the actor partying got named the Ford Fiesta. Harrison, as Indiana Jones, got a Ford Explorer. A still from the movie “The Fugitive” got the name, you guessed it, Ford Escape.

So how does Adderall fit in with all of these things? It fits because the sign guy has gone and made a hilarious ADHD joke. Those with the condition take Adderall to function normally, so they go from “Fiesta” to “Focus.”
Well, well, well…
With the current inflation rate, living costs have been continually increasing for some time now. You begin to feel the crunch, and a lot of folks are living paycheck to paycheck with bills piling up. In heavily urbanized areas, water bills are expensive.
