HUMOR
A contestant on "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?" had reached the final plateau. If she answered the next question correctly, she would win $1,000,000. If she answered incorrectly, she would pocket only the $32,000 milestone money.
And as she suspected it would be, the million-dollar question was no pushover. It was, "Which of the following species of birds does not build its own nest, but instead lays its eggs in the nests of other birds? Is it A) the condor; B) the buzzard; C) the cuckoo; or D) the vulture?"
The woman was on the spot. She did not know the answer. All that remained was her Phone-a-friend Lifeline. She had no alternative. She called her friend and gave her the question and the four choices. The friend responded hesitatingly: "That's easy. The answer is C: The cuckoo."
"I need an answer," said Regis.
Crossing her fingers, the contestant said, "C: The cuckoo."
Regis said, "That answer is ...absolutely correct!! You are now a millionaire!"
Three days later, the contestant hosted a party for her family and friends including the person who had helped her win the million dollars. "Jenny, I just do not know how to thank you," said the contestant. "How did you happen to know the right answer?"
"Oh, come on," said the friend. "Everybody knows that cuckoos don't build nests. They live in clocks."
