     Last month a world-wide telephone survey was conducted by the UN. 


    The only question asked was: 

    "Please take part in this Survey. 
    What is your honest opinion about solutions to the food shortage in the rest of the world?" 


    The survey was a massive failure because of the following: 

    1. In Eastern Europe they didn't know what "honest" meant 
    2. In Western Europe they didn't know what "shortage" meant.
     
    3. In most of Africa they didn't know what "food" meant. The rest of Africa doesn't do writing.
     
    4. In China they didn't know what "opinion" meant
     
    5. In the Middle East they didn't know what "solution" meant.
    6. In South America they didn't know what "please" meant.
    7. In the USA they didn't know what "the rest of the world" meant.
     
    8. In the UK they hung up as soon as they heard the Indian accent.
