dead-eye-dick Posted November 21, 2002 Report Share Posted November 21, 2002 In the normal way,...This is not ment to affend, only to provide amusement... Last month, 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 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. In the USA they didn't know what "the rest of the world" meant. **************************************************************************** TRADITIONAL CAPITALISM: You have two cows.
