A world-wide survey, by the UN... *inside*

A worldwide survey was conducted by the UN. The only question
asked was:

"Can you please give your honest opinion about solutions to the
food shortage in the rest of the world and if it is helpful?"

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 Russia, they didn't know what "your" meant.
In Asia, they didn't know what "opinion" meant.
In the Middle East, they didn't know what "solution" meant.
In Central and South America, they didn't know what "please" meant.
In Australia, they didn't know what "helpful" meant.
In Canada, they didn't know what "can" meant.
And in the USA, they didn't know what "the rest of the world" meant

That's what I'm wondering...I hadn't heard that stereotype before.

But maybe nothing else fit them, so they ended up with that word.

The South American one is probably a reference to drug lords... you want it, you take it, etc.

Very funny!

Oh yeah, and this isn't considered Racist, since it offends everyone equally.

Equally Oppurtunity Offending. The American Dream. :D

First of all, this joke actually is pretty funny.

Secondly, I think I have an answer to the Central and South American portion. It's not that anyone thinks they're impolite, but if you skipped over them, the response might be "hey! how come you skipped over Latin America???" It could be distracting. This way, most everyone got a jabbed at so they're even-steven.

At least, that's my guess.
