A drunk man smelling of beer sat down on a subway next to a priest. The man's tie was stained, his face smeared with red lipstick, and a half empty bottle of beer 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, sleeping around with prostitutes and a lack of regular bathing."
The drunk mutters in response, "Well, I'll be darned", then returns to reading his paper.
The priest, after thinking about what he had said, nudged the man and apologized. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to come on so strong. How long have you had arthritis?"
The drunk replies, "I don't have it Father. I was just reading here in the paper that the Pope does."
Moral: Be sure you understand the question before offering an answer.
