A pollster was taking
opinions outside the United Nations building in New York
City. He approached four men waiting to cross the street:
a Saudi, a Russian, a North Korean and a resident New
Yorker. He asked, "Excuse me, I would like to ask
you your opinion on the current meat shortage?" The
Saudi replied, "Excuse me, but what is a shortage?"
The Russian said, "Excuse me, but what is meat?"
The North Korean replied, "Excuse me, but what is an
opinion?" The New Yorker replied, "What is
'excuse me'?" |
