Mick appeared on the Irish version of "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" and was nearly winnings of £500000.
"You've done very well so far," said the presenter,"But to get the £1 million, you've only got one lifeline left - Phone a Friend.
Will you give it a go?"
"Sure," said Mick. "I'll give it a go!"
"OK. The question is, Which of the following birds does NOT build its own nest?
(a) Robin,
(b) Sparrow,
(c) Cuckoo or
(d) Thrush."
"I haven't got a clue," said Mick, "So I'll phone me friend Paddy back home in Ballygoon"
Mick called up his mate and repeated the question to him.
"Foockin' hell, Mick!" cried Paddy, "Dat's simple....it's a cuckoo."
"Are you sure, Paddy?" asked Mick.
"I'm foockin" sure, Mick"
Mick hung up and told the presenter, "I'll go with da Cuckoo as my answer"
"Is that your final answer? Lock it in?" asked the host.
"Dat it is, Sir. Lock it in"
There was a long, long pause, then the presenter screamed, "Cuckoo is the correct answer ! Mick, you've won £1 million!"
The next night, Mick invited Paddy to their local pub to buy him a drink.
"Tell me, Paddy? How in God's name did you know it was da Cuckoo that doesn't build its own nest? I mean, you know fook-all about birds."
"Ah, bejaysus!" laughed Paddy. "Everybody knows a foockin' Cuckoo lives in a clock!"
