I didn’t know it was such a circulated piece of writing, till my sister enlightened me on its internet offline messages journey. It appeared in the Hindustan Times and though technical errors may be arguable, its good humour nonetheless:
‘The UN conducted a worldwide survey. 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 India, they didn’t know what honest meant. In Europe, they didn’t know what shortage meant. In China, they didn’t know what opinion meant. In west Asia, they didn’t know what solution meant. In South America, they didn’t know what please meant. And in the US, they didn’t know what the rest of the world meant.'
