Bono is at a U2 concert in Dublin when
he asks the audience for some quiet.
Then, in the silence, he starts to

voice from near the front pierces the
moment...
"Well, ya ****** ****,

almost any surface including glass and
at temperatures ranging from below
freezing to over 300

A ragged individual stranded for several
months on a small desert island in the

bottle lying in the sand with a piece of

- You
have been a good cat all these years.
Anything you want is yours for the

-
Say no more.

son the evils of alcohol.
He
put one worm in a glass of water and
another worm in a glass of
whiskey.
The worm in the water lived, while the
one in the whiskey
curled up and
died.
"All right, son," asked
the father, "what does that show you?"
"Well, Dad, it shows that if
you drink alcohol, you will not have
worms."
