A drunken man who smelled like beer sat down on a bus 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 is caused by loose living, being with cheap wicked women, too much alcohol , 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 what he had said, nudged the man and apologized. " I'm very sorry. I didn't mean to offend you and 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".
