UN Survey. VERY Important.

Last month, the U.N conducted a worldwide survey. The only question asked was:

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

The survey was a huge failure:

In Eastern Europe they didn't know what 'honest' meant.

In Western Europe they didn't know what 'shortage' meant.

In Africa they didn't know what 'food' meant.

In Eastern 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 of course, in the USA they didn't know what 'rest of the world' meant.
