When punctuating a sentence involving an exclaimed question, what are the appropriate terminal marks?

Should it read "I blew a goat?!"

or: "A cat fart!?"

Your girlfriend studies there, ask her.

That's a real small school, in north Florida, right? Had a couple of nasty bugs goin' around, I heard. My gf transfered right away, classes were pretty boring.

It means your talking shit, because you're sour, because your girlfriend is taking night classes at the university of my balls.

There are goats on faculty here, BTW.

Either way, it looks stupid. You're better of with just the question mark. If you want to add exclamation, maybe put 2 or 3 question marks at the end.

You don't use both, just use the exclamation point.

I also have a punctuation-related question, brought on by this: http://www.jibjab.com/originals/what_we_call_the_news

Should there, or should there not, be a comma in the expression "big, fake boobs?"

"soon he was scraping the paint off her big, fake boobs..."

see, there it works.

But in the context of the jibjab, it seemed odd and out of place. In which case, it should be removed.

This is how writing should be taught in schools.

Its true in that form its equal part question and exclamation. I do believe that punctuationwise that is correct.
