A contestant Sally, on 'Who Wants to be a Millionaire?' had reached the final plateau.

If she answered the next question correctly, she would win $1,000,000. If she answered incorrectly, she would go down to only $25,000. And as she suspected the Million Dollar Question was difficult.

It was, 'Which of the following species of birds does not build its own nest but instead lays its eggs in the nests of other birds?
Is it:
A) the condor
B) the buzzard
C) the cuckoo
D) the vulture

Sally was on the spot. She did not know the answer. She had used up her Lifelines except for her Phone-a-Friend Lifeline. She hoped she would not have to use it because........ Her friend was, well, a blonde.

But she had no alternative. Sally called her friend and gave her the question and the four choices.
The blonde responded unhesitatingly, 'That's easy. The answer is C: the cuckoo.'

The contestant had to make a decision and make it fast. She considered employing a reverse strategy and giving any answer except the one that her friend had given her.

And considering her friend was a blonde that would seem to be the logical thing to do. But her friend had responded with such confidence, such certitude, that the contestant could not help but be convinced.

Crossing her fingers, Sally said, 'C: The cuckoo.'

'Is that your final answer?' asked the MC.

'Yes, that is my final answer.' Sally said.

'That answer is Absolutely correct! You are now a millionaire!' said the MC

Three days later, the contestant hosted a party for her family and friends, including the blonde who had helped her win the million dollars.

'Jeni, I just do not know how to thank you, ' said Sally. 'How did you happen to know the right answer?'

'Oh, come on,' said Jeni, 'Everybody knows that cuckoos don't build nests. They live in clocks.'

Sally fainted .

The fact that I knew the answer to teh million dollar question or the fact that I figured out the punch line to the joke.

The Universe XD

I know this joke is old, but it's one of my favorites.

I make up most of my jokes I tell and write and I notice when people try to tell me jokes, I usually figure out the punch line before the joke is half finished. At times the punch line takes me by surprise, and that's extra good.

Sometimes I never figure them out. That may be a blonde thing.
