A blonde named Barbara is appearing on Who Wants To Be A
Millionaire...
Regis: "Barbara, you've done very well so far - $500,000
and one lifeline left -- phone a friend. The next
question will give you the first ever Million dollars if
you get it right ... but if you get it wrong you will
drop back to $32,000 -- are you ready?"
Barbara: "Sure I'll have a go"
Regis: "Which of the following birds does not build it's
own nest? Is it........
A-Robin B-Sparrow C-Cuckoo D-Thrush.
"Remember Barbara its worth 1 Million dollars.
Barbara: " I think I know who it........ but I'm not
100%....No, I haven't got a clue. I'd like to phone a
friend Regis just to be sure.
Regis: "Yes, who, Barbara, do you want to phone?
Barbara: "I'll phone my friend Carol back home in
Brooklyn."
(ringing)
Carol (also a blonde): "Hello..."
Regis: "Hello Carol, its Regis Philbin here from Who
Wants to be a Millionaire-I have Barbara here and she is
doing really well on $500,000, but needs your help to be
a Million. The next voice you hear will be Barbara's and
she'll read you the question. There are 4 possible
answers and 1 correct answer and you have 30 seconds to
answer -- fire away Barbara."
Barbara: "Carol, which of the following birds does not
build it's own nest? Is it:
A-Robin B-Sparrow C-Cuckoo D-Thrush
Carol: "Oh Gees, Barbara that's simple.....Its a Cuckoo.
Barbara: "You think?"
Carol: "I'm sure."
Barbara: " Thanks Carol." (hangs up)
Regis: "Well, do you want to stick on $500,000 or play on
for the Million, Barbara?"
Barbara: "I want to play, I'll go with C-Cuckoo
Regis: "Is that your final answer?"
Barbara: "It is."
Regis: "Are you confident?"
Barbara: "Yes fairly, Carol's a sound bet."
Regis: "Barbara.....you had $500,000 and you said C-
Cuckoo ...you're right! - You have just won ONE MILLION
DOLLARS. Here is your check. You have been a great
contestant and a real gambler. Audience please put your
hands together for Barbara."
(clapping)
That night Barbara calls round to Carol and brings her
down to a local bar for a celebration drink and, as they
are sipping their Champagne, Barbara turns to Carol and
asks "Tell me Carol, How in God's name did you know that
it was the Cuckoo that does not build its own nest?
Carol: "Listen Barbara, everybody knows that a Cuckoo
lives in a clock."
