Subject: Finally, a GOOD blonde joke



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

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.

And as she suspected, the Million Dollar Question would be no pushover.

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 50/50 Lifeline and her 'Ask the Audience Lifeline'. All that remained was her Phone-a-Friend Lifeline.

She hoped she would not have to use it because...Her friend was, well, a blonde.

She had no alternative. She called her friend and gave her the question and the four choices. The blonde responded unhesitatingly and immediately:

'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.

Considering that her friend was a blonde,it would seem to be the logical thing to do, but her friend had responded with such confidence, such certitude, that Sally was convinced to take her friend's answer.

Crossing her fingers, the contestant said: ' C: the cuckoo.'

Is that your final answer?' replied Regis Philbin the moderator.'

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

'That answer is ...Absolutely Correct'

You are now a millionaire!'

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

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

'Oh, come on,' the blonde replied...

'Everybody knows that cuckoos don't build nests. They live in clocks..'

Sally fainted.
