16 Tons


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 Ottawa 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
convenience store, a gas station, a donut shop, a taxi cab or motel in Canada.

If nothing is there, he must remain in India to answer telephones and
provide us with technical advice.
