WHAT CAUSES ARTHRITIS????

A drunk man who smelled like beer


sat down on a subway next to a priest.
The man's tie was stained, his face

was plastered with red lipstick,

and
a half-empty bottle of gin was sticking

out of his torn coat pocket.

He
opened his newspaper and


began reading.

After a few minutes the man

turned to the priest and asked,

'Say Father,
what causes arthritis?'

The priest replies, 'My Son, it's

caused by loose living,

being with
cheap, wicked women, too much alcohol, contempt for your fellow man,!
sleeping around with prostitutes


and lack of a bath.'

The drunk muttered in response,


'Well, I'll be damned, '

Then returned to
his paper.

The priest, thinking about what

he had said, nudged the man


and
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.'
