Kip Powick Posted April 11, 2003 Share Posted April 11, 2003 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. And in the US they didn't know what "the rest of the world" meant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airband Posted April 11, 2003 Share Posted April 11, 2003 Subject: FAQ's about Australia These questions about Australia were posted on an Australian Tourism Website and obviously the answers came from a fellow Aussie. 1.

(Sweden) A: Sure, it's only three thousand miles, take lots of water... 4. Q: Can you give me some information about hippo racing in Australia?

Sure, the hippo racing is every Tuesday night in Kings Cross. Come naked. 5. Q: Which direction is North in Australia? (USA) A: Face south and then turn 90 degrees. Contact us when you get here and we'll send the rest of the directions. 6. Q: Can you send me the Vienna Boys' Choir schedule? (USA) A: Aus-tri-a is that quaint little country bordering Ger-man-y, which is....oh forget it. Sure, the Vienna Boys' Choir plays every Tuesday night in Kings Cross, straight after the hippo races. Come naked. 7. Q: I have developed a new product that is the fountain of youth. Can you tell me where I can sell it in Australia? (USA) A: Anywhere significant numbers of Americans gather. 8.

(Italy) A: Yes, gay nightclubs. 10. Q: I was in Australia in 1969 on R+R, and I want to contact the girl I dated while I was staying in Kings Cross. Can you help? (USA) A: Yes, and you will still have to pay her by the hour. 11. Q: Will I be able to speek English most places I go? (USA) A. Yes, but you'll have to learn it first.
