[lfjokes] The drunk at the grocery store

[Adam Shand]

I was shopping at the local supermarket where I selected the following:

   A litre of milk
   A carton of eggs
   A carton of orange juice
   A 250 gram package of bacon
   A head of lettuce
   A 1 kilo can of coffee

As I was unloading my items onto the conveyor belt at the 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 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."
