Scottish Sympathy

Someone forwarded this to me. It is awesome.

Bono, the lead singer of the band U2, is famous throughout the
entertainment industry for being more than just a little
self-righteous. At a recent U2 concert in Glasgow, Scotland, he asked the
audience for total quiet. Then, in the silence, he started to slowly
clap his hands once every few seconds. Holding the audience in total
silence, he said into the microphone, "Every time I clap my hands, a
child in Africa dies."A voice with a broad Scottish accent, from the
front of the crowd, pierces the quiet . Well, foockin stop doin it
then!"
