I was
shopping at the local supermarket where I selected:
A half-gallon of 2% milk
A carton of eggs
A quart of orange juice
A head of lettuce
A 2 lb. can of coffee
A 1 lb. package of bacon
As I was unloading my
items on the conveyor belt to check out,
a drunk standing
behind me watched as I
placed the items in front of the cashier.
While the cashier was ringing up the purchases,
the drunk calmly
stated, 'You must be single.'
I was a bit startled by this proclamation, but I was
intrigued
by the derelict's intuition, since I indeed had never
found Mr. Right.
I looked
at the six items on the belt and saw nothing particularly
unusual about my
selections
that could have tipped off the drunk to my
marital status..
Curiosity getting the better of me, I asked,
'Yes you are
correct, but how on earth did you know that?'
The drunk replied, 'Cause you're ugly.'
