Billy-Bob ,appeared on 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire'
And towards the end of the program had already won 500,000 dollars.

"You've done very well so far," said Chris Tarrant,
The show's presenter, "but for a million dollars
You've only got one life-line left – phone a friend.
Everything is riding on this question.....will you go for it?"

"Yes, Mam," said Billy-Bob. "I'll have a go!"

"Which of the following birds does NOT build its own nest?

a) Sparrow
b) Thrush,
c) Magpie,
d) Cuckoo?"
"I ain't gotta a clue." said Billy-Bob, “so I'll use one-a them live-lines and phone my buddy Charlie back home in Hickory Holler."
Billy-Bob called up his buddy, and told him the circumstances and repeated the question to him.
"Fookin hell, Billy-Bob!" cried Charlie. "Too simple......
It's a cuckoo."
"Are you sure?"

"Heck-fire, BB I'm fookin sure."

Billy-Bob hung up the phone and told Chris,
"I'll go wit Cuckoo as my answer cause Charlie gots a grade eight dee-ploma."

"Is that your final answer?" asked Chris.

"Yes it is, Mam"
There was a long - long pause, and then the presenter screamed,

"Cuckoo is the correct answer! Billy-Bob, you've won 1 million Dollars!"

The next night, Billy-Bob invited Charlie to their local watering hole to buy him a drink.

"Tell me, Charlie ole son?
How did you know it was them Cuckoos that don't build their own nest?"

"You never was the brightest, Billy-Bob. Because he lives in a Fookin clock!"
