Someone In Colorado Is Putting Out The Funniest Signs Ever, And The Puns Are Priceless (New Pics)
While puns and dad jokes have gotten a bad rep over the years - most people react with a groan or an eye-roll instead of the intended laugh - there are many of us who believe that the appeal of this misunderstood comedy genre actually lies in its inherent cheesiness.
As a writer, I can't think of anything more satisfying than a well-timed, multi-faceted pun. Clever and creative word-play - dished up with the wink and a nod of someone that doesn't take themselves too seriously - is just the kind of thing to tickle my funny bone. And if this story is anything to go by, there are millions of you out there that agree!
Colorado native Vince Rozmiarek is the man behind these hilariously creative roadside signs, which showcase the kind of laugh/cringe humor that only dads seem to really excel at. What started as an April Fools' prank has put him and his town, Indian Hills, firmly on the map, with a Facebook page dedicated to the sign having over 90k followers worldwide!
Scroll down to check out the latest batch of Vince's famous puns and 'dad jokes' for yourself (as well as our previous post which you can find here), and let us know what you think in the comments!

"It all began 5 years ago, on Aprils fools day, when I put up a street sign that stirred up the area," Vince told Bored Panda in an earlier interview.
"We have a heavy police presence in the town of Morrison, which is next to Indian Hills, and they run a ton of speed traps traffic signs. The sign said, 'Indian Hills annexed by Morrison, slow down.' Many people believed that prank, and the amount of attention it brought was really surprising."
From then on, Vince decided to put bad puns and jokes up a couple of times a week. "I also try to create unique holiday puns/sayings, and current events that I feel are important. It is hard to keep coming up with the material, but I do try" he said, explaining that the reason he does it is straightforward – he likes to make people laugh.
Do you appreciate this"so bad it's good" kind of humor? Make sure you check out the sign's dedicated Facebook page to keep up to date on the latest and join in too - the puns and jokes that the signs inspire in the comments are just as good as the original!
I saw my math teacher holding a couple of graph papers. She’s definitely plotting something.
Lmao! I have tinnitus and am going to see if my husband falls for this because I do have some Dr.s to call! It wouldn’t be the first time he fell for a goofy pun/dad joke I found on bored panda!
Well money is made out paper and paper comes from trees so technically it grows on trees
Ie. The first complex means complicated The second complex means large building The third complex means fear of
Thanks for the demonstration of your vast store of knowledge. I'm sure none of us got this pun until you explained it. 😒

I love the puns! And seeing all the seasons go by in the background, not something we really get to see here in Florida.
I'm stealing the real groaners. Watching your kids roll their eyes and groan is somehow just so satisfying.
Oh hell yeah!! My daughter at least loves my bad dad jokes.

An Italian restaurant on the Jersey Shore had a sign, "Legalize Marinara." The restaurant was in a low lying area that often flooded during high tide. So, they had another sign, "Occasional Waterfront Dining," The street my in-laws lived on ended at an elevated railroad track. There was a tunnel under the track that, long ago, had been sealed with concrete blocks. In the middle of the blockage was sign, "Tunnel Closed."
He left out all the cookie puns, because they're crummy, or should that be crumby?
Those were funny. One of the guys in my town comes up with these all the time. I always snort/laugh.
Wonderful, amusing puns :-). Making puns is actually one of my hobbies: reverse speaking, anagrams, etc. To me, a hilarious pastime.
I love sending these to my grown son, we can chuckle together long distance Yuma to Spokane
I submitted 10 puns to a joke contest, hoping that one of them would win first place. Unfortunately, no pun in ten did.
Good on you, Indian Hills! Every town council in the world should have a town punster who changes the sign at their community center at least once a week! It just came to my mind that the people who "groan" after they hear or read a pun must probably get the pun, so whether they enjoy it or not, at least they're not shrugging their shoulders and saying, "I don't get it!"
The pins are hysterical! Your imagination is great. Keep 'em coming.
They are absolutely hilarious. Great imagination & sense of humour Vince. Thanks. I needed a good laugh.
Just ran across this on my FB today and I think it is priceless! Everyone needs a daily laugh and this should do it! Keep those puns coming!👍
did u hear about the pregnant lady who had to wait nine months to tell a bad joke. She had a pun in the oven!!! Danno
Do you hear about the lady whose belly was bustin' to tell a bad joke. She had a pun in the oven!
Why is it that on almost every one of these, someone in the comments felt the need to explain the puns to us as if we are all too stupid to understand them? Jeeze...
