A drunk man, who smelled of beer sat down on the subway next to a priest. The man's tie was stained, his face was plastered with lipstick and half a bottle of gin was sticking out of his torn coat pocket.
He opened a newspaper and began reading. After a few minutes, he turned to the priest and asked:
"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 our fellow-man, sleeping around with prostitutes and lack of a bath."
The drunk mutters: "well, I'll be damned!"
then returns to his paper.
The priest, thinking about what he has just said, nudges the man and apologizes:
"I'm very sorry, I didn't mean to come on so strong. How long have you had arthritis?"
The drunk answers: "I don't, father, I was just reading that the Pope does."
Moral of the story, make sure you understand the question before offering the answer.
