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 romaine lettuce,
A 2 lb. can of coffee, and
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 was indeed
single. 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:
"Well, you know
what, you're absolutely right. But how on earth did
you know that?"
The drunk replied, "Cause you're ugly."
