His hilariously misspelled sign is cover for a pretty sad truth that the poor guy just isn't very bright, repeats the things he hears after sifting out the things he doesn't like. And his life is probably sad and unfulfilled because he doesn't have enough human intelligence to be able to think through the problems in his life. He is probably, as Stephen King so aptly put it: "A person for whom life is nothing more than a moment-by-moment flow of sensory input."
