I went to a computer course, turns out it was a course computer.
I tried to download windows and it told me to f**k off.

I like this and it's similar to some of my other gags style wise, I may, with your permission Joel, use it.

Thanks

Yes go on then, you can use it.

I went on a Computer Appreciation Course, but they didn't appreciate me!

So basically you crashed.

Computers are like women, you have to punch the information into them.

I went on a computer course but it didn't work out...I was thrown off it after a week.

They showed me how to surf the web and everything but that's when the trouble started.

All those specialist sites I found meant I spent too much time playing with my hard-drive.

Thank yeewww and goodnight!

This is funny as

I wouldnt try it though...

I went on a computer course, but I had to restart it because my memory wasn't up to it.
(Maybe repeat it a couple of jokes later too, playing on the memory angle)

I've got to go on a drink driving course now, *swig bottle of beer* I'm nowhere near pissed enough.

I've got to go now. I have to take my St Bernard back to the dog centre - his barrel's empty.

'I went on a computer course to meet women...?' I can see where you're going wrong. Aside from the usual computer related gags - viruses, she had ME, laptop, etc. -
you could concentrate on what a bad idea it is to go on a computer course to meet hot chicks.

Something along the lines of 'I went on a computer course to meet women, which is a bit like...(throw in appropriate anaology here)'

I like whores who can't tell jokes.
They've no gag reflex.

Just writing gags for 118 118 and knew that one wouldn't get through.

You're funny.

There was no danger of me getting cross-post syndrome there then. :$

For me personally Danny, the set builds up nicely to the excellent futile and desperate scenarios but I think you need to resolve that situation for your audience, rather than trump each new scenario by finding the 'killer' one. Instead, resolve your 'dilemma' by saying you now have a girlfriend but turn that into the final twist or that you've now given up and then make an appeal to girls in the audience; something that contradicts, if that makes sense?

I wanted to do the computer course but after the soup, lasagne and the chocolate fudge sundae I couldn't eat any more.

Good opener Danny. :)

Leevil if you ever got married would you play Cliff Richard at your wedding.
As she'd be a Leevil Woman.
