Last month the UN conducted an international telephone survey. The only question asked was -
"Would you please give your honest opinion about a solution to the food shortage in the rest of the world?"
The survey was a failure because of the following:
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 USA they didn't know what "the rest of the world" meant.
Finally, in the UK, most people just hung up the phone because they couldn't understand the accent of the person at the call centre....
