I'm still laughing MAO!
Dots on Foreheads
I'm sorry - I couldn't help myself...this is a mini history lesson...L
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 Ottawa 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, a taxi cab, or a motel in the United States.
If nothing is there, he must remain in India to answer telephones and
provide us with technical support.
