Subject: Fw: Telephone 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 possible solutions to the food shortage in the rest of the world?"
Why was the survey 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, 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 Great Britain....everyone hung up as soon as they heard the Indian accent.
