You should send it to Jay Leno. He sometimes has a portion featuring stupid statements like this.

Hello again,

Yeah, hee hee. Wonder if Leno takes submissions by email.

After the charger explodes you can usually find the
on/off switch laying in a corner somewhere, so you
can easily move it to the 'off' position for safety :)

Take care,
Al

I took a quick look around at the homepage for the show. It seems like they don't like getting stuff by e-mail. For example, all funny headlines must be sent in by regular snail mail, same goes for requests for autographs. And I couldn't really find any e-mail adress in plain sight anywhere. But... I just woke up so I might've missed it hehe.
