An Irishman, Mick, was on “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire.” He had already won 500,000 euros. “You’ve done very well,” said the presenter, “but for a million euros, you’ve only got one lifeline left, phone a friend. “

“Here is your million euros question: “

Which of the following birds does NOT build its own nest? A) Sparrow B) Thrush C) Magpie D) Cuckoo.

“I don’t know,” said Mick. “I’ll use my last lifeline and phone my friend Paddy.” Paddy wasn’t the smartest, but Mick had his number memorized. Mick rang and repeated the question to Paddy. “Dat’s simple. It’s a cuckoo!” Paddy said.  Mick asked, “Are you sure? There’s a lot of money on this!”. Paddy answered with a strong “Yes!”

Mick hung up the phone and said, “I’ll go with cuckoo.” “Is that your final answer?” asked Chris. “Yup.”

There was a pause then the presenter screamed, “Cuckoo is correct! You’ve won one million euros!”

Mick called Paddy. “Tell me, Paddy? How in Heaven’s name did you know it was da Cuckoo that doesn’t build its own nest?”

“Well, duh!,” Paddy said, ‘Because he lives in a clock!”
