WHY YOU NEVER QUESTION A DRUNK

A woman was shopping at the local supermarket where she 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 she was unloading her items on the conveyor belt to check out, a

drunk standing behind me watched as she placed the items in front of

the cashier.

While the cashier was ringing up the purchases, the drunk calmly

stated, "You must be single."

She was a bit startled by this proclamation, but was intrigued by

the derelict's intuition, since she was indeed single. she looked at

the six items on the belt and saw nothing particularly unusual

about my selections that could have tipped off the drunk to her

marital status.

Curiosity getting the better of her, she said: "Well, you know what,

you're absolutely right. But how on earth did you know that?"

The drunk replied, "Cause you're ugly."
