A man who appears to be as bit "tipsy" boards a train takes a seat next to a priest, settles down and opens his newspaper.
His tie is stained and askew. His face is smeared with a bright red lipstick in the shape of smudged lips and a half a bottle of gin is sticking out of his torn coat pocket. His hair looks as if it last saw a comb a week ago and he smells of old beer.
After a while he looks up from his newspaper and says,
"Father what causes a person to get arthritis?"
"Well son, it is caused from too much alcohol, looseliving, sleeping around with prostitutes, and lack of hygiene,"
"Well I am really shocked. I didn't know that."
and he returns to his newspaper.
Thinking about what he has just said, the priest nudges the man and apologizes
"I am truly sorry about that, I really didn't mean to come on so strong. How long have you had arthritis?"
"Oh, I don't have it father. I was just reading an article in this newspaper that says that the Pope has it."
