UN Survey

[Bruin Fisher]

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 possible 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 and Russia they didn't know what "please" meant.

• In the USA they didn't know what "the rest of the world" meant.

• And in Australia , New Zealand , Canada and Britain everyone hung up as soon as they heard the Indian accent !

That's just too funny... ?

Groan. 

Seriously though, it's not the Indian accent, it's that we can't understand the supposedly English words.
