A UN survey had only one question:
"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 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 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.
In the US they didn't know what "the rest of the world" meant.
And in Australia they hung up because they can't understand an Indian accent.
I found this posted on the wall of the Business Finance professor at my University.
