And another bad Irish joke from Edel. Funny how only Irish people send me jokes about the Irish!<\/p>\n
Mick, from Dublin, appeared on ‘Who Wants To Be A Millionaire’ and towards the end of the program had already won 500,000 euros.<\/p>\n
“You’ve done very well so far,”
\nSaid Chris Tarrant, the show’s presenter,
\n“But for a million euro you’ve only got one life-line left a phone a friend. Everything is riding on this question….. Will you go for it?”<\/p>\n
“Sure,” said Mick. “I’ll have a go!”<\/p>\n
“Which of the following birds does NOT build its own nest?<\/p>\n
a) Sparrow<\/p>\n
b) Thrush,<\/p>\n
c) Magpie,<\/p>\n
d) Cuckoo?”<\/p>\n
“I haven’t got a clue.” said Mick,<\/p>\n
”so I’ll use last lifeline and phone my friend Paddy back home in Dublin .”<\/p>\n
Mick called up his mate, and told him the circumstances and repeated the question to him.<\/p>\n
“Fookin hell, Mick!” cried Paddy. “Dat’s simple……
\nIt’s a cuckoo.”
\n“Are you sure?”
\n“I’m fookin sure.”<\/p>\n
Mick hung up the phone and told Chris,
\n“I’ll go wit Cuckoo as my answer.”<\/p>\n
“Is that your final answer?” asked Chris.<\/p>\n
“Dat it is, Sir.”<\/p>\n
There was a long – long pause, and then the presenter screamed, “Cuckoo is the correct answer!
\nMick, you’ve won 1 million euro!”<\/p>\n
The next night, Mick invited Paddy to their local pub to buy him a drink.<\/p>\n
“Tell me, Paddy, how in Heaven’s name did you know it was DA Cuckoo that doesn’t build its own nest?”<\/p>\n
“Because he lives in a Fookin clock!”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
