The Revenoor, a most discerning and astute gentleman from way
out west, sent this one on Hindu women and their dots...

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, Ontario, Canada
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 taxi
cab, a donut shop, or a motel in the United States.

If nothing is there, he must remain in India to answer telephones
and provide us with Verizon technical advice.
