FINALLY, SOMEONE HAS CLEARED THIS UP FOR ME....
For centuries, Hindu women have worn a dot on their
foreheads. Most of us have naively thought this was connected with marriage or
religion, but the Indian Embassy in Washington, D.C. has recently
revealed the true story.
When a Hindu woman gets married, she brings a dowry into the
union. On her wedding night, the husband scratches off the dot to see
whether he has won a convenience store, a gas station, a donut shop or a
motel in the United States.
If nothing is there, he must take a job in India answering telephones giving technical advice.
