FINALLY, SOMEONE HAS EXPLAINED THE MYSTERY!!! 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 liquor store or a motel in the United States. If there is nothing under the dot, he must take a job in India answering telephones and giving unintelligible technical advice to frustrated Americans |
