Forums / Off Topic / ARTHRITIS?

A drunken man,
who smelled like beer, sat down on a subway bench 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
da***d, " 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."
