Scots: humour or bad taste?

At a U2 concert in Glasgow, Bono asked the audience for some quiet.

Then in the silence, he started to slowly clap his hands.

Holding the audience in total silence, he said into the microphone "Every time I clap my hands, a child in Africa dies."

A scottish voice from near the front pierced the silence:

"Well, stop fucking doing it then."

falloff

I know, i know, Bono is serious about poverty in the world, but damn, this made me LOL
You don't scare me; i got kids

I'm a bit ambivalent about it too, kisscamille, but somehow I'm sure the scot saying it regrets his "big mouth".

I love Scotland. Almost as much as I hate it. It gave me my accent, wit and intellect, though. And you cunts penicillin and TV. But what that guy shouted is Scot's humour defined - black as a coalman's fingernails.
