(stolen from Reddit today)

Last month a worldwide survey was conducted by the UN. The only question
asked was: "Would you please give your honest opinion about solutions to
the food shortage in the rest of the world?"

The survey was a failure. In Africa they didn’t know what “food” meant.
In Eastern Europe they didn’t now what “honest” meant. In Western Europe
they didn’t know what “shortage” 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. And in the
USA they didn’t know what “the rest of the world” meant.
