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's won a convenience store, a gas station, a
donut shop, a taxi cab or a motel in America . If nothing is there, he must remain in India to answer telephones and provide us with technical customer support.

A husband and wife are shopping in their local supermarket. The husband picks up a case of Budweiser and puts it in their cart. "What do you think you're doing?" asks the wife. "They're on sale, only $10 for 24 cans," he replies. "Put them back! We can't afford them," orders the wife. They carry on shopping. A few aisles farther on the woman picks up a $20 jar of face cream and puts it in the basket. "What do you think you're doing?" asks the husband. "Its my face cream. It makes me look beautiful," replies the wife. Her husband retorts, "So does 24 cans of Budweiser, and it's half the price."
