For years, Vince Rozmiarek has been the man behind the message board at the Indian Hills Community Center. The father took up the job in 2013 after all his children had 1 the nest. He found himself with a lot of 2 time and had no idea how to use it, so he figured this little side job would keep him 3 . At first, he took things 4 , but when April Fool’s Day came around, he found the perfect 5 to have some fun.
He used the message board to make a joke about the neighboring town, and it received a great 6 from the locals. Realizing that his humor was 7 , Vince decided to entertain more people and make his jokes more of a 8 thing. He looked through books to find great things to write, and each one built up his 9 in the area. Soon enough, everyone in town knew him for his jokes, and they decided to 10 his humor with the world.
It was in 2015 that a resident decided to bring his jokes and puns(双关语) to social media. She created a (n) 11 for the message board on Facebook, and she regularly 12 it with photos whenever Vince presented new jokes and puns. Soon enough, people from all around the world were laughing at his jokes, just like the residents of Indian Hills. He now has over 84,000 13 on social media, many of whom 14 await every new picture that gets posted.
Although Vince never did any of this for 15 , he’s glad he’s able to make so many people smile with his message board posts.
