Favourite Spike Milliganisms
Apart from his legendary 'See told you I was ill' inscribed on his tombstone,

THE CREATION ACCORDING TO THE TRADE UNIONS IN THE BEGINNING GOD CREATED THE HEAVEN AND THE EARTH.
2. And darkness was upon the face of the deep; this was due to a malfunction at Lots Road Power Station.
3. And God said, Let there be light; and there was light, but Eastern Electricity Board said He would have to wait until Thursday to be connected.
4. And God saw the light and it was good; He saw the quarterly bill and that was not good.
(The Bible, The Old Testament According to Spike Milligan, Penguin, 1993)

Band mate; 'Christ Spike where have you been, and what's that you're wearing?'
Spike looking miffed and admiring his get-up; 'I'll have you know this is the latest thing. Cab Calloway wears one of these.'

I recently read Spike's 'Adolph (Adolf? -question if anyone actually knows!) Hitler - My part in his downfall' and enjoyed it thoroughly. The world is different without Spike. And Peter Sellers!
Humanity's always stuffed while ever it worship Pope's rather than Goons!
