#6008 : The Pope Got 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?"
"My son, 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 damned," the drunk muttered, returning 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?"
"I don`t have it, Father. I was just reading here that the Pope does."
