Default Happy St. Paddy's Day

Mick appeared on the Irish version of "Who Wants To Be A
Millionaire” and towards the end of the programme had already won $500,000. “You've done very well so far," said the show's presenter,
"but for $1 million 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!"

"OK. The question is:
which of the following birds does NOT build it's own nest?
(a) Robin, (b) Sparrow, (c) cuckoo, or (d) thrush.
"I haven't got a clue," said Mick,
"so I'll use my last lifeline and phone my friend Paddy back home in Ballygoon." Mick called up his mate, told him the circumstances and repeated the question to him.
“Freakin 'ell, Mick!" cried Paddy. "Dat's simple......it's a cuckoo."
"Are you sure, Paddy?" asked Mick. "I'm freakin sure."
Mick hung up the phone and told the TV presenter,
"I'll go with cuckoo as my answer."
"Is that your final answer?" asked the host.
"Dat it is, Sir."
There was a long, long pause, then the presenter screamed,
” Cuckoo is the correct answer! Mick, you've won $1 million!"
The next night, Mick invited Paddy to their local pub to buy him a drink. "Tell me, Paddy? How in God's name did you know it was the cuckoo that doesn't build it's own nest?
"For freaks sake!" laughed Paddy.
"Everybody knows a freakin cuckoo lives in a clock!"

Haha...at first I thought this was a variation of a joke I heard a few weeks ago and was thinking "oh jeez no Bob, don't go there, buddy!" I should have known you know better.

Anyway, Happy St. Paddy's Day to all!
