An antidote?

I know but frankly the news makes me want to recycle more than ever and, I do NOT meant newspapers.......

A worldwide survey was conducted by the UN. 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 USA they didn't know what "the rest of the world" meant.

The Washington Times:
"End of the world--another Clinton plot?"

For a joke first published over a decade ago - 23 Dec 2014 - that one has stood up alarmingly well

Is that all? It seems much older than that, it has the flavor of an '80s joke that would have come out around the time of Live Aid.

think the joke (The UN) has been around a bit longer than that......
