These four guys were walking down the street: a Saudi, a  Russian,
a North Korean, and a New Yorker.

A reporter comes running up and says, "Excuse me, what is your
opinion about the meat shortage?"

The Saudi says, "Excuse me, what's a shortage?"

The Russian says, "Excuse me, what's meat?"

The North Korean says, "Excuse me, what's an opinion?"

The New Yorker, says,  "Excuse me??   What's excuse me?"
