The "B" entry from "Bono's A to Z of 2014."
His X is for X-ray — he offers his "titanium elbow for a laugh":
He had a big bicycling injury on his 50th birthday — "a massive injury I can't blame on anyone but myself, mainly because I blanked out on impact and have no memory of how I ended up in New York Presbyterian with my humerus bone sticking through my leather jacket."

That is a good quote by Bono, reminds me of a joke about a man who brings his wife to a psychiatrist. He says "Doctor, My wife thinks she's a chicken!"
"How long has this been going on?" asked the Dr.
"Twenty years!"
"Why didn't you bring her to me sooner?" the Dr Asked.
"Because we needed the eggs!"
I always thought that was a wise joke.
Hasn't former Sen. Bob Dole referred to himself publicly in the third person?
And in the Oliver Stone film "Nixon," there's a scene in which the 37th president of the United States, played by Anthony Hopkins, is going through a bunch of transcripts of White House tape recordings. And Hopkins/Nixon, striking out passages with a Magic Marker, keeps agitatedly muttering to himself, "Nixon didn't say this... Nixon didn't say that... " Historically accurate?
If there are any Democrats who have referred to themselves in the third person, I'd certainly like to hear about them.
Supposedly, when Les Paul broke his arm in an auto accident, they told him that they were going to have to set it in one position, and he wouldn't be able to move it again. He had them set it in a position where he could play guitar.
I have no idea if the above is true, if it is not, you can log it as folklore.
Laslo doesn't get what the big deal about the 'third person' is.
I am Laslo.
Jesus used the third person in reference to himself.
I had a bono when I woke up this morning.
At the very bottom of that x-ray, it looks like a woman with a nice pair of legs wearing shorts.

You're thinking about Sonny.

I wonder if there was an Episcopalian bishop with a broken windshield in the area...
"And in the Oliver Stone film "Nixon,"
Is there anyone who believes Oliver Stone ? Well, I mean aside from the looney left, of course.
Tim in Vermont:
According to the Les Paul Foundation, your story about Paul's arm is true.
... Most doctors may have amputated the arm, but Les’ doctor, Dr. Robert Knight, was determined to save the arm. At this point, after several dark first few weeks in the hospital, Les decided to persevere and not listen to those who told him that he may never play guitar again. After several surgeries, Les was flown back to California to see a bone specialist. In Ca, Dr. McKeaver replaced Les’ right elbow with a piece of bone from Les’ leg, but there would be no elbow joint; meaning that once Les’ arm was set, it would stay in that position. So Les told Dr. McKeaver, “Put my forefinger in my bellybutton when you set it. That’s how I hold the guitar, and I’ll still be able to play.” ...
Someone should tell Bono that story!
A few years ago I ran a 7/64" drill bit through my left index finger.
I asked the ER doctor, "Doctor, will I be able to play the piano after this?"
Says he, "Well, I don't see why not."
To which I replied, "That's fantastic, doctor, I never could before!"
Bono is 54. The accident occurred last November.
Ty, I think that is a Groucho Marx gag.
Bob Dole..I mean Bono will fight!
