Life Spiked...

Life is a tale told by an idiot -- full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
Said Shakespeare
And Spike Milligan documented his really well.
Reading "Adolf Hitler- My Part In His Downfall" and this one by Asha, I had to List all the wisdom from Spike.

I have the body of an eighteen year old. I keep it in the fridge.
I shook hands with a friendly Arab. I still have my right arm to prove it.
Education isn't everything, for a start it isn't an elephant
I spent many years laughing at Harry Secombe's singing until somebody told me that it wasn't a joke.
I thought I'd begin by reading a poem by Shakespeare, but then I thought, why should I? He never reads any of mine.
I'm a hero with coward's legs.
Is there anything worn under the kilt? No, it's all in perfect working order.
It was a perfect marriage. She didn't want to and he couldn't.
My Father had a profound influence on me, he was a lunatic.

(French Translation) - Apéritif: a set of dentures.
I can't see the sense in it [his honorary CBE] really. It makes me a Commander of the British Empire. They might as well make me a Commander of Milton Keynes - at least that exists.
I told you I was ill!
Spike Milligan
