Never talk to a Drunk

I was shopping at the local supermarket where I selected:
2 litres of 2% milk
A carton of eggs
1 litre of orange juice
A head of lettuce
A 250 Gram can of coffee
A 500 Gram pack of bacon


As I was unloading my items from the cart to check out, a drunk standing behind me watched as I placed the items in front of the cashier. While the check out girl 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 man'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.'

Thank you OG I'll remember that those words were just a slip of the tongue I usually know how to talk proper like.

A lady at a dinner party said to Winston Churchill, . . "you're drunk", . . . he replied, . . . "you're ugly madam, . . but tomorrow I shall be sober".

That is one of my favourite quotes I wish I could have been there to see her face.

Good one CC but the poor thing. I guess that's when you really pass out the truth.

Re: Never talk to a Drunk

Just found this one attributed to Churchill


Nancy Astor: “Sir, if you were my husband, I would give you poison.”
Churchill: “If I were your husband I would take it.”
