A failed survey

United Nations Surveyer: "Would you please give your opinion about shortage of food in the rest of the world?

The survey failed because: In Africa, people didn't know what "food" was, In China, they didn't know what "opinion" was, In Europe, they didn't know what "shortage" was, Filipino leaders didn’t know what "honest" meant, France didn't know what "please" was. In America, they didn't know what "the rest of the world" meant.
