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 liquor store, a doughnut shop, a taxi cab, or a motel in the United States. If nothing is there, he must remain in India to answer telephones and provide us with Verizon technical support.

Absolutely wonderful. And, maybe true?

Change that from "maybe true", to "probably true". Change "Verizon" to "Verizon or AT&T". Otherwise dead on the money.

Simply horrible. But funny in a politically incorrect sort of way.

The way I heard it was "Do you know why some Indian women wear turbans and others have a red dot in their forehead? It is because some are pull start and some are push start."

Probably not very PC, but I thought it was funny!
