Finally someone has cleared this up for me ...
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 Embassy 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 Convenience Store, a Service Station, a Kebab Shop or a Takeaway Cafe in Australia.
If there is nothing there, he must take a job in India answering telephones giving technical advice to Telstra and Optus customers who live in Australia.

It's cool kix4funchick...the joke really is that here in Australia, our two major phone companies (ie Optus and Telstra) have off shore phone support centres - which are mainly based in India - and many other Australian companies have Indian call centres also)
Hence the joke, because often when one calls for phone support/query, you are greeted by someone with an Indian accent.
Guess the joke is more directed to an Australian audience, who understand the humour in this instance - no offence intended to our Indian friends:happy:
