What causes arthritis

A  drunk man who smelled like beer sat down on a subway next to a
priest.  The man’s tie
was stained, his face was plastered  with red lipstick, 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, 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.’
