nice joke to cheer you all up :-)

Sir Alex Ferguson is on "Who wants to be a Millionaire" and has reached the

million pound question.  Chris Tarrant says, "Right Sir Alex, this is for

one million pounds, and remember, you still have two lifelines left, so

please take your time.  Here's your question: What type of animal lives in

a

set?  Is it a) a badger; b) a ferret; c) a mole; or d) a cuckoo?"

Fergie ponders for a while and says, "No, I'm sorry Chris, I'm not too

sure.

I'll have to go 50-50."

Chris says, "Right, Sir Alex, let's take away two wrong answers and see

what

you're left with."

"Badger" and "Cuckoo" are the two remaining answers.  Fergie has a long

think, then scratches his head and says "No, Chris, I'm still not sure, I'm

going to have to phone a friend."

"So who are you going to call, Sir Alex?", says Chris.

"Hmmm.." ponders Fergie.  "I'll think I'll call David Beckham."

So Tarrant phones David Beckham. "David, this is Chris Tarrant from 'Who

wants to be a Millionaire'. I've got Sir Alex Ferguson here, and with your

help he could win one million pounds. The next voice you hear will be Sir

Alex's."

"Hello David" says Fergie. "It's the boss here. What type of animal lives

in

a set? Is it a badger or a cuckoo?"

"It's a badger, boss." says Becks without hesitation.

"You sure, son?" says Fergie

"Definitely, boss. One hundred percent. It's a badger. Definitely."

"Right Chris," says Fergie, "I'll go with David. The answer's a badger.

Final answer."

"Sir Alex," says Chris, "that's the correct answer. You've won one million

pounds!!"  Cue wild celebrations.

Next morning at training, Fergie calls Beckham across. "Son, that was

brilliant last night. I thought I might be taking a gamble giving you a

call, but you played a blinder. But how did you know that a badger lives in

a set?" says Fergie.

"Oh I didn't, boss," replies Beckham, "but everybody knows a cuckoo lives

in

a clock."

      Jesus Christ !!! This group is getting worse!
      ONE POST! ONE POST about a shock result in the opening game in the world
      cup and the complaints have started. You didn't have to read it.
      It is clear that you despise football but most people don't. There are
      more countries who are members of FIFA that the UN !
     
      I could understand your post if we went on about it for 3 days like most
      of the OT stuff on this list but FFS get a grip - it was only one post.
