    From the page: Joe Schmitt, whose tweets are known for their humor, follows 600 people on Twitter and is followed by about 3,000. (Nancy Stone / Tribune / May 18, 2009) For about 20 years, Joe Schmitt kept his wit and off-kilter observations largely to himself, occasionally cracking up his wife and friends, but sharing little with the world around him. Then came Twitter. The social networking Web site and Schmitt's sense of humor mixed like Mentos and Diet Coke, and the man has since been spraying the Internet with 140-character bursts of funny. On Palm Sunday he wrote: "Yes, I rode to church on a donkey this morning. It's no big deal -- my car was in the shop. Why is everyone making a fuss?" As swine flu mania was ramping up, he tweeted, simply: " 'Ahhh-choink!' (uh-oh)."
