The Shopper and the Drunk
A woman was shopping at her 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
* a 1 lb. package of bacon
She was unloading her items on the conveyor belt to check out, a drunk
standing behind
her watched as she placed the items in front of the cashier. While the
cashier was ringing
up her purchases, the drunk calmly stated, "You must be single." The
woman was a bit
startled by this proclamation,
but she was intrigued by the derelict's intuition, since she was indeed
single. She looked at her six items on the belt and saw nothing
particularly unusual about her 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 correct. But how on earth did
you know that?
The drunk replied:
"Cause you're ugly."
