For centuries, Hindu women have worn a dot on their foreheads. Most of us have naively thought this was connected with marriage or religion, but the Indian High Commission in Canberra 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 - A taxi licence in Adelaide
B - A convenience store in Melbourne
C - A Caltex service station in Perth,
D - A kebab shop in Brisbane
E - A take-away cafe in Sydney
If there is nothing there, he must take a job in India answering telephones giving technical advice to Telstra and Optus customers in
Australia.
