At a U2 concert in Ireland, Bono, the lead singer, asks the audience for some quiet, and then he slowly starts to 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 Newfie in the front yells out, in the silence: "Then stop clappin' ya f**kin' asshole"!
I assume from the many jokes you've posted that "Newfie's" are Canada's hillbillies/rednecks. Yes?
Not as harsh as the term used in the U.S, but similar.Quote:
