A world wide UN survey was conducted.

The query was: Please give your honest opinion about the shortage of food in the rest of the world.

The survey was a failure because the African people didn't know what 'food' was. In China they didn't know what 'opinion' was. The Europeans didn't know what 'shortage' was while the Pakistanis didn't know what 'honest' meant. The Saudis didn't know what 'please' was, and the Americans didn't know what 'rest of the world' meant...

Interview!

A young man went for a government job interview.

"When did Pakistan get Independence?" He was asked.

"The efforts began a few years earlier and the final result was in 1947," he replied.

"Who was responsible for our independence?"

"There were so many. Whom to mention? If I name one, it will be an injustice to others," was the reply.

"Is corruption the number one enemy of our country?"

"Some research is being conducted on the subject and I will be able to answer with certainty only after seeing the report," he replied.

The interview board was very pleased with his answers and asked him not to reveal the questions to others, since they were planning to ask the same questions. When he went outside, naturally the others were curious to know what was asked. He politely declined, but one persistent candidate would not leave him. "At least tell me the answers," he pleaded, and our friend obliged.

Then it was the turn of this candidate. When he went inside, since his resume was slightly illegible, the board member asked him."By the way, what is your date of birth?"

He replied, "The effort began a few years earlier and the final result came in 1947."

Somewhat puzzled, they asked for clarification. "What is your father's name?"

He replied, "There were so many. Whom to mention? If I name one, it will be an injustice to the others."

The interviewer was incensed.

"Hey! Are you mad or what?"

He replied, "Some research is being conducted on the subject. I will be able to answer with certainty only after seeing the report!"
