Guest guest Posted May 18, 2004 Report Share Posted May 18, 2004 A drunk, reeking of alcohol, sat down on a subway seat 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, " Tell me, Father, what causes arthritis? " The priest replied, " My Son, it is caused by loose living, being with cheap, wicked women, too much alcohol and a contempt for your fellow man, sleeping around with prostitutes and a lack of personal hygiene. " The drunk muttered in response, " Well, I'll be darned, " and returned to his paper. The priest, thinking about what he had said, put his hand gently on the man's arm and apologized. " I'm sorry. I should not have come on so strong. How long have you had arthritis? " " I don't have arthritis, Father, " the drunk replied. " I was just reading here that the Pope does.
