Spike, from Australia, (His Grandmother lived in Woy Woy - yes really), was sent to fight in World War 11 and started writing and performing for other troops. Here's a bit of classic Spike humor...

This is a short extract as Spike describes the paroxysms of the heavy smokers among his fellow soldiers having their first cigarette of the day.

"As the cough rose up the inflated throat, the whole six colours were pushed up into the victim's face. It had now reached the inner mouth; the last line of defense, the cheeks, were blown out to the size of football bladders. The climax was nigh. The whole body was now a purple shuddering mass. After several mammoth attempts to contain the cough, the mouth would finally explode open! Loose teeth would fly out, bits of breakfast and a terrible rasping noise filled the room. Aweeioussheiough!! Followed by a long, silent stream of spume-laden air; on and on it went until the whole body was drained of oxygen, the eyes were popping, and veins like vines standing out on the head, which was now down 'twixt the knees."

Nothing to do with smoking, but it's hard to resist more Spike and Goon Show jokes...

People will think we're workmen!

Henry: Is this an official visit?
Seagoon: I'm afraid you'll have to put your helmet on.
Henry: Oh, dear, that'll mean re-potting the geranium.
Minnie: And the baby, too.

Seagoon: He's been buried alive under a thousand tons of earth.
Minnie: Thank heavens he's safe.

Henry: You get on baiting those elephant traps.
Minnie: I don't see the point of them, you know.
Henry: What?
Minnie: We've never caught one.
Henry: That doesn't mean we must stop trying, Min of mine.
Think of the dangers! Supposing you came down one morning for a cream-strainer, and found an elephant in the larder, eh?
Minnie: Well, I've never seen an elephant in the larder.
Henry: That is because they're hiding, Min.
Minnie: Where do elephants hide? Tell me that! Where do elephants hide, buddy?
Henry: Well, I don't know, Min, but it's clear to me that they must hide somewhere. How else could they get away with it for so long?

Bluebottle: Unscrews false kneecap, takes out secret gun. Am in agony, as I have not got false kneecaps. Puts on bold face. AHEE! It still hurts, though.

"This is a plan of attack."
"It looks more like a nail."
"No, it's a tack."

Noddy: "Jump! The ground, will break your fall."

Henry: You shouldn't have done that from the standing position.

People who live in glasshouses
Should pull the blinds when removing their trousers.

Well Bread
If you cast your bread in the water
It returns a thousand fold
So it says in the bible
That's what I've been told
