A Joke UN runs a survey recently. The question is “Could you please give us your opinion honestly about the food shortage in the rest of the world?”It turns out a huge failure, because: South Americans do not know the word "please", Eastern Europeans do not know the word "opinion", Asians do not know the word "honestly", Africans do not know the word "food", Western Europeans do not know the word "shortage", and Americans do not know the word "the rest of the world".
