 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 pounds. "You've done very well so far," said Meredith Vieira, the show's host, "but
for a million dollars, you've 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!" "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 phonemy friend Paddy back home in Dublin .." 
Mick called up his mate, Paddy, 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 Meredith,"I'll go with cuckoo as me answer." "Is that your final answer?"asked Meredith."Dat it is." After a very long silent pause,the Host, Meredith Vieira, screamed,"Cuckoo is the correct answer! Mick, you've won One Million Dollars!" Upon his return to Dublin, Mick went to Paddy's Pub to celebrate and thank Paddy for his help in making it all possible. "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!"
