A worldwide survey had only question which 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 Eastern Europe they didn’t know 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.
