Default UN survey

World survey



Last month a world-wide telephone 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 the meaning of the meaning of "honest";

· In Western Europe they didn't know the meaning of "shortage";

· In Africa they didn't know the meaning of "food";

· In China they didn't know the meaning of "opinion";

· In the Middle East they didn't know the meaning of "solution";

· In South America they didn't know the meaning of "please";

· In the USA they didn't know the meaning of "the rest of the world";

· In Australia they hung up as soon as they heard the Indian accent.
