Millionaire
Mick, from Dublin , appeared on 'Who Wants To Be A
Millionaire' and towards the end of the program had already won 500,000
pounds.
You've done very well so far,' said, Chris
Tarrant, the show's presenter, 'but for a million pounds you've only got one
lifeline left - phone a friend. Everything is
riding on this question.... ..will you go for it?'
'Sure,' said Mick.. 'I'll have a go!' 'Which
of the following birds does NOT build its own nest?'
A : Sparrow
B: Thrush
C: Magpie
D: Cuckoo
I haven't got a clue,' said Mick, 'so I'll use
me last lifeline and phone me friend Paddy back home in Dublin '. Mick called up his mate, and
told him the circumstances and repeated the question to him.
'Fookin hell, Mick!' cried Paddy. 'Dat's
simple...... it's a cuckoo.'
'Are you
sure?'
'I'm fookin sure.' Mick hung up the phone
and told Chris, 'I'll go wit Cuckoo as me answer.'
'Is that
your final answer?' asked Chris
'Dat it is, Sir.'
There was a long - long pause, and then the
presenter screamed, 'Cuckoo is the correct answer! Mick, you've won 1 million
pounds!'
The next night, Mick invited Paddy to their
local pub to buy him a drink.
'Tell me, Paddy? How in Heaven's name
did you know it was da Cuckoo that doesn't build its own
nest?
'Because he lives in a Fookin clock!'
