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 DC 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 must scratch 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 support.

this is an extremely parochial joke that shows a very shallow understanding of culture..
I agree with Tanvi…reserch is needed before posting something like this…that forehead dot is called ‘Bindi’ & it has nothing to do with lottry n stuff. I dont believe indian embassy said this.
read this form wikipedia :
The area between the eyebrows (where the bindi is placed) is said to be the sixth chakra, ajna, the seat of “concealed wisdom”. According to followers of Hinduism, this chakra is the exit point for kundalini energy. The bindi is said to retain energy and strengthen concentration. It is also said to protect against demons or bad luck.
wow the fact that you guys are taking this seriously makes this even more humorious
That was freaking hilarious… It’s just a joke people. Get a sense of humor.
I always thought it meant the coffee is ready lol
Obviously some people have had their sense of humour surgically removed. Lighten up people if we can’t laugh at ourselves and one another then what is the point. They may as well just crawl back under the rock and die…
Its like some famous Aussie v Kiwi jokes, you just have to lighten up. Here is a one classic.
A kiwi walks into the bedroom to see his wife with a sheep under his arm and says ” So this is the pig I have been f#8)/-ing. The wife
says to the husband”I think you will find that Is a sheep”. The husband says.”Yes I know I was talking to the sheep”
