Why You Never Question A Drunk

[Dave (imported)]

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, and

> A 1 lb. package of bacon.

As I was unloading my items on the conveyor belt to check out; 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, "Because you're ugly."

Maybe the guy was just gay?

[sapient (imported)]

Thats just spooky. How didthe drunk know that you where ugly? Damn, it must be a trick!

That is rather reminiscent of the reported exchange between Sir Winston Churchill and Bessie Braddock (who was a labour MP and who would have made a Sumo Wrestler worry).

Apparently she accosted him in the lobby of the House of Commons with:

"Winston! You are drunk".

To which she got the reply, "Bessie, you are ugly. Tomorrow, I shall be sober".
