The UN conducted a worldwide survey which carried the request: “Please give your honest opinion about solutions to the food shortage in the rest of the world.” In the end, the survey was a huge failure because…
In South America they didn’t know what ‘please’ meant.
In Singapore they didn’t know what ‘give’ meant.
In North Korea they didn’t know what ‘your’ meant.
In Eastern Europe and India they didn’t know what ‘honest’ meant.
In China they didn’t know what ‘opinion’ meant.
In the Middle East they didn’t know what ’solution’ meant.
In Africa they didn’t know what ‘food’ meant.
In Western Europe they didn’t know what ’shortage’ meant.
And in the USA they didn’t know what ‘the rest of the world’ meant.
