Last month a World-Wide survey was conducted by the UN. The only question was asked:-
"Could you please give your honest opinion about solutions to the food shortage in the rest of the world?"
The survey was an abject failure due to the following:
1. In Eastern Europe, they struggled to understand the meaning of the word 'Honest'.
2. In Western Europe, they struggled to understand the meaning of the word 'Shortage'.
3. In the Middle East, they struggled to understand the meaning of the word 'Solutions'.
4. In Africa, they struggled to understand the meaning of the word 'Food'.
5. In China, they struggled to understand the meaning of the word ' Opinion'.
6. In South America, they struggled to understand the meaning of the word 'Please'.
7. In North America, they struggled to understand the meaning of the phrase 'The rest of the world'.
8. In the UK, they just hung up when they heard the Indian accent.
