Big Geordie appeared on 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire' and towards the end of the program had already won £500,000.
'You've done very well so far,' said, Chris Tarrant, the show's presenter, 'but for a million pounds you've only got one life-line left - phone a friend. Everything is riding on this question......will you go for it?'
'Sure,'said Geordie. 'I'll have a go!'
'Which of the following birds does NOT build its own nest? -
a) Sparrow,
b) Thrush,
c) Magpie,
d)Cuckoo?'
'Aw sod it Ah aven't gorra clue'said Geordie, 'Ah'll hafta use me last lifeline and phone me friend Tommy back home in Seaham.'
Geordie called up his mate, and told him the circumstances and repeated the question to
him.
'Bluddy hell, Geordie!' cried Tommy. 'That's simple... it's a cuckoo.'
'Are yer sure?'
'Ah'm sure.'
Mick hung up the phone and told Chris,'Ah'll gan wi' Cuckoo as me answer.'
'Is that your final answer?' asked Chris
'It is, Chris.'
There was a long - long pause, and then the presenter screamed, 'Cuckoo is the correct answer! Geordie, you've won 1 million pounds!'
The next night, Geordie invited Tommy to their local Working Mans Club to buy him a pint of Newky Broon
'Tell me, Tommy? How in Heaven's name did yer knaa it were a Cuckoo that doesn't build its own nest?'
'Ah thort ivrybody knaas that... A Cuckoo lives in a bluddy clock!'

The best psychological health comes from admitting your faults and recognizing they're caused by someone else.
