A drunk man who smelled like a brewery sat down on a subway 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 and a contempt for your fellow man, sleeping
around with prostitutes and lack of a bath".

The drunk muttered in response, "Well, I'll be damned," 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".
