The real reason indian women wear dots on their foreheads

For centuries, Hindu women have worn a dot on their foreheads. Most of us have naively thought this was connected with marriage or religio--- 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.
