[NaBloPoMo has a new monthly topic---HA!---and seeing as I can never remember a joke, I decided to sign up. :-)]
Another one from our neighbor:
Mick 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, 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 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 phone my friend Paddy back home in Dublin." Mick called up his mate, and told him the circumstances and repeated the question to him.
"Bloody hell, Mick!" cried Paddy. "That's simple. It's a cuckoo."
"Are you sure?"
"I'm certain sure."
Mick hung up the phone and told Chris, "I'll go with cuckoo as my answer."
"Is that your final answer?" asked Chris.
"That 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 the cuckoo that doesn't build its own nest?"
"Because he lives in a bloody clock, now doesn't he?!!!"
Have a great weekend, everyone. TGIF!
