Just got this one in an email...Enjoy!

Last month a telephone world-wide 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 failed because of the following:


In Eastern Europe they didn't know what "honest" meant.
In Western Europe they didn't know what "shortage" meant.
In Africa they didn't know what "food" 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.
In the US they didn't know what "the rest of the world" meant.

In Pakistan, they demanded 10 percent commission to allow the survey to be conducted

And Finally...........................


In Australia they hung up because they couldn't understand the Indian accent.

Gee, Ash... have you made a lot of aborted telephone calls to Australia? In all the time I've seen your posts I've never noticed an accent... of course, I'm not Australian.

After the 2nd one I could not stop laughing.

Very good!

its funny because its true. and it does happen

I've heard that one around here!! the only difference is that my version ends with:

"and Brazil is still debating the meaning of 'honest'"


Cheers
