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 huge failure, In Africa they didn't know what 'food'
meant, In India they didn't know what 'honest' meant, In 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.
