an old favorite from bash.org 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

露けしや草一本も秋の体
tsuyukeshi ya kusa ippon mo aki no tei
humidity--
even one blade of grass
is autumn
translated by David Lanoue
влажный воздух --
осень
в каждой травинке
* Давид Лану пишет, что Tsuyukeshi - это вариант написания tsuyukesa, старое слово, обозначающее влажный воздух, из которого выпадает осенняя роса.
* В Ленинграде в середине октября иногда наступала такая сырая промозглая погода. Тогда роса выпадала не только на траве, но и на замерзших пальцах, если их вовремя не убрать в карман. |
