Dublin: U2 is playing in a bar tonight!
Ryan : I can't believe we are actually in the Octagon! Words fail me! Did you know that this place is owned by Bono and the Edge?
Tina : Who are Bono and the Edge? Sound like strange names for restaurant owners.
Ryan : That's because they're rock stars! You know the band U2, don't you? They're the lead singer and lead guitarist and they grew up in Dublin with the other band members.
Tina : I know U2! The names just didn't ring a bell. Hey, isn't that Bono over there?
Ryan : I'm not falling for that old trick! A minute ago you didn't know him from Adam and now you're spotting him in a crowded bar? I don't think so.
Tina : No, really, I think it's him. And he's heading up to the stage! People are getting really excited.
Ryan : If I turn around you're going to laugh and say, "Made you look!" If I had a nickel for every time I used that joke on other people....
Tina : He's got a guitar in his hand. I think he's going to sing a song.
Ryan : I'll admit, I'm curious because this guy does sound like Bono, but I don't want you to make me look stupid.
Tina : I promise not to say a word. Just slowly turn around and try not to let your jaw drop to the floor.
Ryan : Oh my gosh! It's really Bono! Why didn't you say something before?
