Harry appeared on the Irish version of Who Wants to be a Millionaire and was nearly at the end of the quiz with winnings of $500,000. "You've done very well so far" said the show's presenter, "but to get the $1,000,000 you've only got one lifeline left - phone a friend. Everything is riding on this question, will you have a go?"
"Sure" said Harry "I'll have a go"
"OK the question is - which of the following birds does NOT build its own nest? (a) Robin (b) Sparrow (c) Cuckoo or (d) Thrush?"
"I haven't got a clue" said Harry, "So I'll use my last lifeline and phone my friend Paddy back home in Ballygoon".
Harry called up his mate, told him the circumstances and repeated the question to him. "Fookin' hell Harry" cried Paddy, "Dat's simple .. it's a cuckoo" "Are you sure Paddy" asked Harry "I'm fookin' sure". Harry hung up the phone and told the TV presenter "I'll go with da cuckoo as my answer" "Is that your final answer, lock it in?"
There was a long long pause, then the presenter screamed, "Cuckoo is the correct answer! Harry you've won one million dollars!"
The next night Harry 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 its own nest? I mean you know fook all about birds". "Ah bejaysus!" laughed Paddy, "Everybody knows a fookin' cuckoo lives in a clock!"
