World Wide phone survey-did you take part?


Last month a world-wide phone 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 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 Africa they didn't know what "food" meant.
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 Africa they didn't know what "please" meant.
7. In the USA they didn't know what "the rest of the world" meant.
8. In “New Zealand and Australia”, they hung up as soon as they heard an Indian accent.

  1. I couldn't get to the phone over the top of the empty pizza boxes and chip bags.
