mad al 146 Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 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 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 ( Thrush © Magpie (d) Cuckoo “I haven’t got a clue.” said Mick, ”so I’ll use last lifeline and phone my 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 my 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!” 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
