Going cuckoo in the umbellifer field.
Who knew what blondes know?
It was a typical night of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire:
Jeremy: “Barbara, you’ve done very well so far – £500,000 pounds and one lifeline left — phone a friend.”
“The next question will give you the top prize of £1 million pounds,
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!”
Jeremy: “Which of the following birds does not build its own nest?
Is it:
A – Robin
B – Sparrow
C – Cuckoo
D – Thrush
Remember Barbara – its worth £1 million pounds.”
“I think I know who it… I’m not 100%… no, I haven’t got a clue. I’d like to phone a friend Mr Clarkson, just to be sure.”
Jeremy “Yes. Who, Barbara, do you want to phone?”
Barbara: “I’ll phone my friend Maggie back home in Birmingham.”
(ringing)
Maggie: “Hello…”
Jeremy: “Hello Maggie, it's Jeremy Clarkson 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 get to a Million. The next voice you hear will be Barbara’s and she’ll read you the question. There are 4 possible answers and only 1 correct answer. You have 30 seconds to reply — fire away Barbara.”
Barbara: “Maggie, which of the following birds does not build its own nest?
Is it:
A- Robin
B- Sparrow
C- Cuckoo
D- Thrush
Maggie: “Oh gees, Barbara that’s simple…It’s a cuckoo.”
Barbara: “You think?”
Maggie: “I’m sure.”
Barbara: “Thanks Maggie.” (hangs up)
Jeremy: “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”
Jeremy: “Is that your final answer?”
Barbara: “It is.”
Jeremy: “Are you confident?”
Barbara: “Yes fairly, Maggie’s a sound bet.”
Jeremy: “Barbara…..you had £ 500,000 and you said C- c -cuckoo. (pause.....more pause....)
You're right!!! You've just won one million pounds. Here is your cheque. You have been a great contestant and a real gambler. Audience please put your hands together for Barbara!”
That night Barbara called round to Maggie and brought her down to a local bar for a celebratory drink and, as they were sipping their prosecco, Barbara turned to Maggie and asked: “Tell me Maggie, How in God’s name did you know that it was the cuckoo that does not build its own nest?”
Maggie: “Listen, if you need a reminder, everybody knows that a cuckoo lives in a clock!”
