THE DOT.......
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 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 advice. |
