How to spot a single man...

=====================================================

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
• A 1 lb. package of bacon

At the cash register, 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 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, “Because you’re ugly.”
