A very, very drunk man flops onto a bus seat next to a priest. His tie is stained, his face is plastered with lipstick and a half-empty bottle of gin is sticking out of his trouser pocket. He opens his newspaper and starts reading, but after a few minutes turns to the priest and asks, "Hey Father, do you have any idea what cause arthritis?"
"Yes," the priest replies sternly, "it's caused by loose living, being with cheap, wicked women, drinking too much alcohol and having complete contempt for your fellow man."
"Well, I'll be damned," the drunk mutters, and returns to his paper.
The bus carries on its way, and a few minutes later the priest, feeling guilty about what he has just said, nudges the man and apologises to him.
"I'm very sorry," says the holy man. "I didn't mean to come on so strong. It was mean-spirited and inconsiderate of me. How long have you been suffering from arthritis?"
"I haven't," says the drunk. "I was just reading here that the Pope has."
