WELL, WHAT DO UNO?


Ben's
latest gleaning:

Last month the UN conducted a worldwide survey asking:

"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 Eastern Europe they didn't know what "honest" meant.

In Western Europe they didn't know what "shortage" meant.

In Africa they didn't know what "food" 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 US they didn't know what "rest of the world" meant.

Methinks Anticant needs an editor for all future texts.
Just to protect him from subversives.

PostModern editor says that "about" is an ok word.

Anticant does know what "rest" means as this blog is already sleeping.
Wake up Anticant before you get various night-time visitors to the infamous snug.
In other words, as they say in the working class, get yer arse in gear!!!
