BCG does Mock the Week

I've been given the Mock The Week book, which, despite some very funny moments, is a very hit and miss affair. However, I thought I could go through the sections week-by-week and get BCGers to come up with their own answers. I'll pick three for a kick-off and see how it goes.

For example...

- Unsuccessful Personal Ads
- Greeting Cards that won't sell
- Lines you won't find in a Harry Potter book

I'll start with:

Man seeks vegetable for fun, pleasure and post-coital stew

Congratulations, you have passed the British Immigration test. Tuck in!

Harry - you should've gone to Specsavers

Goto 'Search" and paste "Write gag/pun to this pic for Greeting Card" ;)

Computer geek seeks woman. Any woman! WOMEN! RING ME NOW OR I'LL WEAR YOUR FACE AS A MASK!
