New World Study

Post by DuncaninFrance » Wed Sep 02, 2009 2:28 am

Last month a world-wide 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:

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 Finally...........................

In England, Australia & New Zealand, they hung up because they couldn't understand the Indian accent. :loco:
