Bono, the lead singer of U2 is known for being self-righteous …
… He is also an A-list rock and roll celebrity.
At a recent concert in Glasgow Scotland, he asked the audience for complete and utter silence.

From the front of the crowd a voice with a broad Scottish accent pierced the quiet;

A young Arab boy asks his father “What is that strange hat you are wearing?”
The father said: "Why, my son, it is a ‘chechia.’ In the desert it protects our heads from the intense heat of the sun.”
“And what is the long flowing robe you are wearing?” asked the boy.
“Oh, my son!” exclaimed the father “It is very simple. This is a ‘djbellah.’ As I have told you, in the desert it is not only very hot, but the sand is always blowing. My djbellah protects the entire body.”
The son then asked: "But Father, what about those ugly shoes you have on your feet?”

“So tell me then,” added the boy.
"Yes, my son…”
"Why are we living in Longford and still wearing all this shit?
