FINALLY,
SOMEONE HAS CLEARED THIS UP.
For
centuries, Hindu women have worn a dot on their foreheads.
Most
of us have naively thought this was connected with tradition
or religion, but the Indian Embassy in New York 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
doughnut shop, a taxi cab or a motel in Arizona
.
If
nothing is there, he must remain in India to answer telephones
and provide us with technical
advice.
