I don’t know if this is a real thing or just a joke someone said but I heard this story.

“I was at a U2 concert and Bono was talking about raising money for AIDS in Africa. He started clapping his hands slowly and said, ‘Every time I clap my hands someone in Africa dies of AIDS,’ Then someone in the crowd shouted, ‘Then stop clapping your hands, asshole!’”

I love that story and I hope it’s true.

I thought they started clapping faster, like crowds always do
