Arthritis

A drunk that smelled like a brewery got on a bus one day. He sat
down next to a priest. The drunk's shirt was stained, his face was
full of bright red lipstick and he had a half empty bottle of wine
sticking out of his pocket. He opened his newspaper and started
reading---a couple of minutes later he asked the priest, "Father what
causes arthritis"?

"Mister, it's caused by loose living, being with cheap wicked women,
too much alcohol and contempt for your fellow man".

"Well I'll be damned", the drunk muttered and returned to reading
his paper.

The priest, thinking about what he said turned to the man and
apologized. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to come on so strong---how long
have you had arthritis"?

"I don't, father, I was just reading in the paper that the Pope has
it".
