Apropos of nothing . . . .

. . . the funniest thing I've read in awhile, courtesy of NRO's Jay Nordlinger, who discovered it in an newspaper dispensed in an Indian restaurant in Cleveland (yes, a Cleveland Indian restaurant). Nordlinger writes:

At a U2 concert in Ireland, the lead singer Bono asks the audience for some quiet. Then he starts to slowly clap his hands. Holding the audience in total silence, he says into the microphone, “I want you to think about something. Every time I clap my hands, a child in Africa dies.”

A voice from the audience yells out, “Then stop clapping, you a**h***!”

To which one can only add: up the Irish.
