Shamus, from Dublin , appeared on 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire' and towards the end of the program had already won 500,000. "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 Shamus, "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 Shamus, "so I'll use me last lifeline and phone me friend Paddy back home in Dublin."...

Shamus called up his mate, and told him the circumstances and repeated the question to him.
"Fer Fooksake, Shamus!", cried Paddy, "Dat's simple......it's a cuckoo!"
"Are you sure?"
"I'm fookin sure!"

Shamus hung up the phone and told Chris, "I'll go with Cuckoo as me answer."
"Is that your final answer?", asked Chris.
"Dat it is, Sir."

There was a long - long pause, then the presenter screamed: "Cuckoo is the correct answer! Shamus, you've won a million pounds!"

The next night, Shamus invited Paddy to their local pub to buy him a drink.
"Tell me, Paddy? How in Heaven's name did you know it was da Cuckoo that doesn't build its own nest?"

"Because he lives in a Fookin clock!"
