WHY YOU NEVER 
   QUESTION A 
   DRUNK 
    
    
   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."
