Gotta love the Irish

Sorry for veering so far off topic, folks, but this came in (from Mr. Pink) and it was just too good not to share…
Bono is at a U2 concert in Ireland when he asks the audience for some quiet.
Then in the silence, he starts to slowly clap his hands.
Holding the audience in total silence, he says into the microphone…”Every time I clap my hands, a child in Africa dies.”
A voice from near the front of the audience pierces the silence…”Fookin stop doing it then!”
Maybe it happened and maybe it didn’t:

That was very funny, but I suspect it’s apocryphal. Still hard not to laugh at a guy who goes by one name and never removes his sunglasses.

Who cares whether is really happened or not.
