never question a drunk

I was shopping at the local supermarket where I selected:

A litre of milk
A box of six eggs
A litre of orange juice
A head of lettuce
A jar of coffee
A 500g pack of bacon

As I was unloading my items on 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 indeed had never found Mr. Right.

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 , 'Yes you are correct. But how on earth did you know that?'

The drunk replied, 'Cause you're ugly.'
