Westmarcher

At a U2 concert in Glasgow, Bono 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 I time I clap my hands, a child in Africa dies."

From the front of the crowd, a voice with a broad Scottish accent pierced the quiet ........

"Well f**kin stop doing it then, ya evil bastard!"

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Chap who's a stand-up comedian (fellow off Phoenic Nights - Gerrry St.Clair) told something similar, that he'd heard.

A comic's up on stage in a pub, with a boomerang in his hand.

He says to the audience; "If I throw this, do you think it'll come back?"

To which, a bloke at the bar shouts out: "If you throw it and it comes near me, it'll bloody come back at you!"



[I think I've remembered it correctly]
Rimmer: "Aliens."

Lister: "Oh God, aliens... Your explanation for anything slightly peculiar is aliens, isn't it?

Rimmer: "Well, we didn't use it all, Lister. Who did?"

Lister: "Rimmer, aliens used our bog roll?"
