How fortuitous that this showed up in my mailbox today ...
Quote:
For centuries Hindu women have worn a red dot on their foreheads.
We have naively thought it had something to do with their religion.
The real story has been revealed by the Indian Embassy in Washington.
When a Hindu woman marries, 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 Florida.
