TELEPHONE SURVEY

Last month, a world-wide telephone survey was conducted by the UN.

The only question asked was:-
"Please would you give your honest opinion about solutions to the food shortage in the rest of the world".

*The survey was a complete failure because:*

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 USA, they didn't know what "THE REST OF THE WORLD" meant.
And in Britain, Australia and New Zealand, everyone hung up as soon as they heard the "Indian Accent"
