World wide survey was conducted by the UN. The only question asked was:

"Would you please give your honest opinion about solutions to the food shortage in the rest of the world?"

The survey was a huge failure, because

• In Africa they didn't know what 'food' meant,

• In India they didn't know what 'honest' meant,

• In Europe they didn't know what 'shortage' meant,

• In China they didn't know what 'opinion' meant,

• In the Middle East they didn't know what 'solution' meant,

• In South America they didn't know what 'please' meant,

• And in the USA they didn't know what 'the rest of the world' meant!
