A Survey by the United Nations

Last month, a worldwide survey was conducted by the United Nations. The only question asked was:

"Would you please give your most honest opinion about solutions to the
food shortage in the rest of the world?"

The survey was a HUGE failure because:

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 United States they did not know what "the rest of the world"
meant!
