"Who Wants To Be A Millionaire"
A blonde named Pam is appearing on "Who Wants To Be A
Millionaire" with Regis Philbin.
Regis: "Pam, you're up to $500,000 with one lifeline
left: phone a friend. If you get it right, the next
question is worth one million dollars. If you get it
wrong, you drop back to 32,000. Are you ready?"
Pam: "Yes."
Regis: "Which of the following birds does not build
its own nest?
Is it A) robin, B) sparrow, C) cuckoo, or D)thrush?"
Pam: "I'd like to phone a friend. I'd like to call
Carol."
Carol (also a blonde) answers the phone: "Hello?"
Regis: "Hello Carol, its Regis Philbin from Who Wants
to be a Millionaire. I have your friend Pam here who
needs your help to
answer the one million dollar question. The next voice
you hear will be Pam's..."
Pam: "Carol, which of the following birds does not
build its own nest?
Is it A) robin, B) sparrow, C) cuckoo, or D) thrush?"
Carol: "Good grief, Pam, that's simple. It's a
cuckoo."
Pam: "Are you sure?"
Carol: "I'm sure."
Regis: "Pam, you heard Carol. Do you keep the $500,000
or play for the million?"
Pam: "I want to play; I'll go with C) cuckoo."
Regis: "Is that your final answer?"
Pam: "Yes."
Regis: "Are you confident?"
Pam: "Yes; I think Carol's pretty smart."
Regis: "You said C) cuckoo, and you're right!
Congratulations, you just won one million dollars!"
To celebrate, Pam flies Carol to New York. That night
they go out on the town. As they're sipping champagne,
Pam looks at Carol and asks her, "Tell me, how did
you know that it was the cuckoo that does not build
its own nest?"
Carol answers, "That's easy, everybody knows they live
in clocks."
