Pat was a contestant on Who Wants to be a Millionaire. He'd won $500,000 and with only one lifeline left - phone a friend - he was having a crack at the final question which was:

Which of these birds does not build its own nest?
A - sparrow
B - thrush
C - cuckoo
D - starling

Pat frowns, scratches his head and decides to phone a friend. Mike answers the phone and Pat repeats the question.

"Oh that's easy, its the cuckoo," says Mike.

Pat hangs the phone up and tells the show's presenter that he'll go with cuckoo.

There is a long pause and then the presenter screams , "Pat, you have just won $1,000,000! Congratulations!

The next day, Pat takes his friend Mike to the pub for drinks and a meal. "Tell me Mike, how did you know it was a cuckoo?"

"Well," says Mike, "it was easy. Everybody knows that a cuckoo lives in a clock."
