Those Darned Scots
Bono, lead singer of the rock band U2, is famous throughout
the entertainment industry for being more than just a little self-righteous.
At a recent U2 concert in Glasgow, 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 pierced the quiet...
"Well, stop doin' it then, ya evil bastard!"

If you liked this joke then you MUST watch South Park episode #1109: More Crap.
It can be found here in streaming video along with every other episode.

Reminds me of the old W.C. Fields joke -
Kid comes to W.C. Fields' house, knocks on the door. When Fields opens the door he says, "Mister, can you spare a dollar for crippled children?"
Fields reaches into his wallet, pulls out a ten, gives it to the kid and says, "Here's ten dollars, cripple ten of them."
