Why You Never Question a Drunk

A friend sent me this joke the other day...

A woman was shopping at her local supermarket where she selected:
-Half-gallon 2 % milk
-Carton of eggs
-Quart of orange juice
-Head of romaine lettuce
-2 lb. Bag of coffee
-1 lb. Package of bacon

As 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 right. But how on earth did you know that?"

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

Mean man, I had a old drunk as the cashier one time, beet red nose the whole nine yards. I was checking out for back school items, clothes, snacks. I have five kids so the total came to a good some. He said the total out loud, I started to write the check..He loudly blurts out "It's expensive to have alot of kids. Isn't it?!!"
"Yeah" I said looking him dead in the eyes,..."But, there are worse hobbies to have." His face turned red he looked down in shame shaking his head in agreement,"Yes, your right about that."
