Survey

I got this forward. Typically I dont forward them... but this one...is one I had read earlier.. and is something that I somewhat agree with... atleast partially.

well.. here it goes:
Last month, the U.N. worldwide conducted a survey. The only question asked was, "Would you please give your most honest opinion about a solution 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 Western Europe they did not know what "shortage" meant.
In Eastern Europe 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.
In Asia they did not know what "honest" meant.
And in the USA they did not know what "the rest of world" meant


The last line...

I know what "rest of the world" means, it's just that my government usually doesn't unless there is oil there.

I guess it could have been worse. Why isn't India in there anywhere? Did they pass the quiz with flying colors? :)
