****, from Dublin, appeared on '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,
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 ****. '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 ****, 'so I'll use me last lifeline and phone me friend Paddy back home in Dublin '.
**** called up his mate, and told him the circumstances and repeated the question to him.

'Fookin hell, ****!' cried Paddy. 'Dat's simple......it's a cuckoo.'

'Are you sure?'

'I'm fookin sure..'


**** 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, then the presenter screamed,

'Cuckoo is the correct answer! ****, you've won £1 million !'


The next night, **** 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?

'Becauseeverybody knows he lives in a Fookin clock!'
