Sven-Goran Eriksson is on 'Who wants to be a Millionaire' and has reached
the £1 million question.

Chris Tarrant says, "Right Sven, this is for £1 million, and remember, you
still have two lifelines left, so please take your time.

"Here's your question: What type of animal lives in a Sett?

"Is it.
a, a badger
b, a ferret
c, a mole or
d, a cuckoo?"

Sven ponders for a while and says, "No, I'm sorry Chris, I'm not too sure.
I'll have to go 50-50."

"Right, Sven, let's take away two wrong answers and see what you're left
with. 'Badger' and 'Cuckoo' are the two remaining answers."

Sven 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, Sven?" says Chris.

"Hmmm, I 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
Sven-Goran Eriksson here, and with your help he could win £1 million. The
next voice you hear will be Sven's."

"Hello David" says Sven. "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 Sven.

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

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

"Final answer Sven?"

"That's the correct answer. You've won £1 million!"

Cue wild celebrations.

Next morning at training, Sven 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 the heck did you know
that a badger lives in a set?"

"Oh I didn't, boss," replies Beckham, "But everybody knows a cuckoo lives in
a clock!"

pmsl!
