The Bible According to Spike Milligan

In other news, I have not, in the end, yet started Antiquities of the Jews, having been waylaid first by a copy of The Bible According to Spike Milligan, which I picked up a couple of days later in a different charity shop:
In the beginning God created the heaven and the Earth.(It didn't all maintain this standard, sadly...)
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.
[...]
7. And God said, Let the waters be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear, and in London it went on the market at six hundred pounds a square foot.
8. And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, and the earth brought forth grass and the Rastafarians smoked it.
9. And God said, Let there be lights in heaven to give light to the earth, and it was so, except in England where there was heavy cloud and snow on high ground.
