Telltale Signs

At the supermarket check out yesterday, I saw a man ring through:

- 3 boxes of Hungry Man 1 lb dinners
- 1 package of spaghetti
- 1 jar spaghetti sauce
- 1 bottle mouth wash
- 1 bag apples
- 2 boxes of Kitty Klump (cat litter)

Think he was single? I think he was single.

Yes, but was he attractive?

Attractiveness is so subjective, as you know. Did I find him attractive? No. He looked like Michael Briere (killer of Holly Jones) with glasses, nervous and nerdy. Not bad looking per se, but nothing about him that made me want to talk to him. Except I did want to ask, "Based on your purchases, I gather you're single. Are you?" But then what? I didn't want to act weirder than he looked.

I often look at other peoples' shopping baskets and wonder to myself the following:"Big family? Small family? Single? Married? Heart attack candidate? What a Pig!" I'm a bloody judgemental supermarket basket voyeur.

Hey, that was me at the check out.

FYI, I only bought one HungryMan. The other one was a regular.

But hey, thanks for the plug.
