UN Survey

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...

In Africa they did not know what "food" meant.

In Eastern Europe they did not know what "honest" meant.

In Western Europe they did not know what "shortage" meant.

In China they did not know what "opinion" meant.

In the Middle East they did not know what "solution" meant.

In South America they did not know what "please" meant.

And in the USA they did not know what "the rest of the world" meant.
