THE DOT!!!

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 taxi cab, 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
and giving technical advice to HP and Dell customers.
