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 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, gas station, donut shop, taxi cab or a motel in the
United States . If nothing is there, he must remain in India to answer
telephones and provide America with technical advice.
