Question : Irony of the World we live in

An ironic joke copied from a chain mail:

Recently a survey was conducted by the U.N. worldwide. The question asked was,“Would you please give your opinion about the food shortage in the rest of the world?”

The survey was a huge failure.

• In Africa they did not know what ‘food’ meant.
• In Western Europe, they did not know what ‘shortage’ meant.
• In Eastern Europe they did not know what ‘opinion’ meant.
• In South America they did not know what ‘please’ meant.
• And in the U.S. they did not know what ‘the rest of the world’ meant.
