There is a guy in front of me at the grocery store check-out and in front of him is a woman.



She puts on the belt: a single potato, a small container of milk, half a carton of eggs,


3 slices of ham, a small handful of green beans, two crusty buns and one apple.

The guy in front of me says to her: "You're single, aren't you?"



She bats her eyes and says: "How did you guess?"



He replies: "Because you're rather ugly."


I think that's too mean spirited to qualify as a "joke". "She" should have replied, "You're rather quite a piece of work yourself."

You didn't crack a smile even?

" Does this dress make my butt look big? . . "Nooo.. it's your BUTT that makes that dress look big...."

No, why, there was no joke.

Now if she had replied, "Okay, I'm ugly, and you're an asshole. But I can always put on makeup," then it might have been worth a smile.

Did you say "mean spirited", Bill? Y'mean Toy is now a fellow Republican, like his buddy, Sarah Palin?

Sorry, I saw tears in her eyes...

Bill

This was an old joke! OP did not really hear that at the store.

Who'se trolling now, Jackko? LOL

Gawd... I express a couple of conservative views and now I'm trying to crawl under Palin's skirt?

Now THAT is sooo kneeslappingggg...awful... "I can always put on make- up, yes but tomorrow I'll be sober....come ON, that line is as dead as your sense of humour.

Nuttin' better than Alaska Salmon

I knew it! Thanks for confessing. It's good for the soul. (And other parts of the shoe, you heel.)

Well *I* don't toe the party line; I am too straight-laced for that.

I didn't. If I were behind the guy, I would have punched him,

Oooooo tough guy... punching people in fictitious fables...

Someone with a sense of humor that relies on pointless derision of a person for their appearance (rather than their character) is in no position to lecture anyone else on what is or isn't funny. What's next, you gonna tell a joke about laughing at someone in a wheelchair?

One night, I was having a few pints in The Jolly Miller (Hog's Hollow, Toronto) and struck up a conversation with a guy on a barstool next to me. We talked about cars, sports, weather...and scotch. At one point, I looked over to say something to him and he had fallen off his barstool. He was mumbling and I tried to help him up. But every time, when I thought I had him back on his feet, he fell down again. Finally, I told Stu, the bartender to call the guy a cab. I carried him downstairs to the sidewalk and when the cab showed up, I had to look in the guys wallet to get his address... I figured, I'll go with him, and drop him off... it wasn't very far. When I dragged him to the front porch, I rang the doorbell and his wife opened the door. She took one look at her hubby, and thanked me for dropping him off; taking care of him. She wanted to pay me for the cab, something I refused. As I walked off the porch, she asked: "where did you leave his wheelchair?"

Oooooo tough guy... punching people in fictitious fables...

Oooo That would hurt, getting punched in the fables But, he also claims heroically, that he would normally attack someone from behind REAL hero !!
