ARTHRITIS
A man who smelled like a distillery flopped 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 disheveled guy turned to the priest and asked, "Say,
Father, what causes arthritis?"
"Mister, it's caused by loose living, being with cheap, wicked women, too
much
alcohol and a contempt for your fellow man."
"Well I'll be..." the drunk muttered, returning to his paper. "I don't
have it,
Father. I was just reading here that the Pope does."
