No offense here.. just passing it on....
A groggy guy who smelled of beer and booze 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 his
glance turned toward The priest and he asked, "Can you tell me Father,
what causes pain and suffering of arthritis?"
The priest replied, "My Son, it's caused by general loose living, being
with cheap, wicked women, too much alcohol, contempt for your fellow
man, sleeping around with prostitutes and," he sniffed tightly, "lack of
a bath."
Stung by this reply, the drunk slumped in his seat, muttering, "Well,
I'll be d**ned," 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."
