For centuries, Hindu women have worn a red dot on their foreheads.
We have always naively thought that it had something to do with their religion.
The true story has recently been revealed by the Indian Embassy in Washington, D.C. When one of these women gets married, she brings with her, a dowry.
On her wedding night, the husband scratches off the red dot to see if he has won a convenience store, a gas station, a donut shop or a motel in the United States.
Decoration? Like tinsel on a Christmas tree?
ReplyDeleteThanks for clearing that up. I'm glad you meant what I said.
Sooo wrong... tsk
ReplyDeleteShesh, people! What a crock. It's a religious symbol representing the 3rd inner eye. Men and women wear it. It's just in vogue for women (and not men) to wear it these past couple of decades.
ReplyDeleteIt's a joke people! Lighten up.
