Last month, 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 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 U.S. they didn't know what "the rest of the world" meant
;)

Pretty much sums that sentence up.
 
No it doesn't. The joke does. Duh. If you can show that the joke was written by an American, you might have something. But I doubt it was.
 
I doubt this was either
