At a U2 concert in Glasgow, Bono asked the audience for some quiet. Then he started to slowly clap his hands. The audience gradually joined in, the silence punctuated only by thousands of steady, rhythmically clapping hands.

Then he called for quiet again. Holding the audience in total silence, he said into the microphone

“Every time I clap my hands, a child in Africa dies.”

A lone voice from near the front pierced the silence: “Well, stop fucking clapping then!”
