Believe in your friends!
Sally, a contestant 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 pocket only the $25,000 milestone money. As she suspected, the million-dollar question was not easy... 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 didn't know the answer. Sally had used up her 50/50 Lifeline and her Ask the Audience Lifeline. All that remained was her Phone-a-Friend Lifeline. Sally hoped that she wouldn't have to use it because...well her friend was Blonde. But, Sally had no alternative. She called her friend and read her the question and four answers. The blonde responded unhesitatingly: "That's easy. The answer is C: the Cuckoo." The contestant had to make her decision quickly. Sally considered employing a reverse strategy and giving any answer, except the one that her Blonde friend had given. It would seem to be the logical thing to do. But... the Blonde had responded with such confidence, such certitude, that Sally couldn't help but be convinced. "I need an answer", said the game host. Crossing her fingers, the contestant said, "C: The Cuckoo". "Is that your final answer?" "Yes, that is my final answer." To which the host replied, "That answer is.... Absolutely correct! You are now a millionaire!" Three days later, Sally hosted a party for her family and friends, including the Blonde who had helped her win the million dollars. "Joni, I just don't know how to thank you!' Sally said. "How did you happen to know the right answer?" "Oh, come on," said the blonde... "Everybody knows that cuckoos don't build nests! They live in clocks." Sally fainted.........
