worldwide survey

A worldwide 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.

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."
