Hi Jupiter's Girl - glad you like the site. The page you're looking for is http://jokemail.blogspot.com/2005/11/astrological-light-bulb-changing.html

If you want to exchange links, then go to your template, and in the sidebar bit of code where it says Google News and there are a couple of edit-me slots that look a bit like this:

(li)(a href="http://help.blogger.com/bin/answer.py?answer=110")Edit-Me(/a)(/li)

Change one of them so it looks like this:

(li)(a href="http://jokemail.blogspot.com/")Joke Mail(/a)(/li)

Only with angular brackets instead of round ones.

If you do that, let me know and I'll link right back to you!

Safetinspector, I think they're probably all real. The one by Murray Walker I'm pretty sure I remember watching the F1 race where he actually said that.

Sports commentator's gaffs are incredibley common and in the UK they are known as "Colemanballs"

You can find out why here:

Jupiter's Girl, I'm not renaming anything. 'boring fucktard' was a comment by the irritating nobody who thinks she is funnier than she is, and as far as I'm concerned can take a running jump back into waste pipe she climbed out of.

If you need any help with your links, don't hesitate to ask.

Nice pic btw!
