The Irish Millionaire

Mick from Dublin, appeared on "Who Wants To Be a Millionaire" and toward 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 life-line left - phone a friend. Everything is riding on this question! Will you go for it?"

"Sure," said Mick, "I'll have a go!"

The question was:

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, 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 final 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 a million pounds!!!"

--------------------------------------------

The next night, Mick invited Paddy to their local pub to buy him a drink.

He asked, "Tell me, Paddy? How in Heaven's name did you know it was da Cuckoo dat doesn't build his own nest?"

Paddy replied, "Because he lives in a Fookin clock!"
