A drunk man who smelled like beer
sat down on a subway next to a priest.
The man's tie was stained, his facewas plastered with red lipstick,and
a half-empty bottle of gin was stickingout of his torn coat pocket.He
opened his newspaper andbegan reading.
mpter a few minutes the manturned to the priest and asked, 'Say Father,
what causes arthritis?'
The priest replies, 'My Son, it'scaused by loose living,being with
cheap, wicked women, too much alcohol, contempt for your fellow man,
sleeping around with prostitutesand lack of a bath!'
The drunk muttered in response,'Well, I'll be damned, 'Then returned to
his paper.
The priest, thinking about whathe had said, nudged the manand
apologized. 'I'm very sorry.I didn't mean to come on so strong.How long
have you had arthritis?'
The drunk answered, 'I don't have it, Father.I was just reading here that the Pope does.'
