THE DOT......

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.
