why you should never, ever, question a drunk..

I was shopping at the local supermarket where I had picked up the following items to buy:

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 groceries onto the conveyor belt to checkout, 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, but I was intrigued by
this 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 said , 'Yes you are correct.
But how on earth did you know that?'


The drunk replied, 'Coz you're ugly.�
