Bono is at a U2 concert in Halifax, Nova Scotia, when he asks the audience for some quiet. Then, in the silence, he starts to slowly clap his hands.
He says into the microphone, in a deep solemn voice ….
“Just for a moment, think outside yourself … outside this arena. Every time I clap my hands, a child in Africa dies.”
A loud Newfy voice from near the front pierces the moment …
“Well, Lard tunderin jasus, ya stupid arse, stop yer fockin’ clappin’, then!”
(Thanks, Ilse!)
Really shameless.

Who cares if it really happened? That's a damn funny story. I like how you spelled out the accent; "... Lard tunderin jasus ..."
