Who wants To Be A Millionaire

Topper

Mick appeared on the Newfoundland version of 'Who wants To Be A Millionaire' and towards the end of the program had already won $500,000.

'You've done very well so far,' said the show's presenter, but for
1 Million dollars, 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!'

'OK. The question is: which of the following birds does NOT build it's own nest ?
(a)Robin ( b)Sparrow (c)Cuckoo (d)Thrush.'

' I hasn't got a clue,' said Mick, 'So I'll use my last lifeline and phone my friend Paddy back home in Come-Bye-Chance.'

Mick called up his mate, told him the circumstances and repeated the question to him.


'****in Ell, Mick!'cried Paddy. 'Dat's just simple logic....it's a Cuckoo.'

'Are you sure, Paddy?' asked Mick. 'I'm ****in sure' replied Paddy. Mick hung up the phone and told the TV presenter, 'I'll go with cuckoo as my answer.'

Is that your final answer?' asked the host.

'Dat it is Sir.'

There was a long, long pause, then the presenter screamed,

'Cuckoo is the correct answer! Mick, you've won $1,000,000.00!'

The next night, Mick invited Paddy to their local pub to buy him a drink.
'Tell me, Paddy? How in God's name did you know it was the cuckoo that doesn't build
its own nest? I mean you know ****-all about birds.'

Fer ****s sake!' laughed Paddy. 'Lord tunderin Jaezuz everybody knows a ****ing cuckoo lives in a clock!'
