What causes arthritis?

[kgwilson]

A drunk retired fighter pilot who smelled like beer 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

 

the retired fighter pilot 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, contempt for your fellow man, sleeping

 

around with prostitutes and lack of a bath.'

 

The drunk fighter pilot muttered in response, 'Well, I'll be damned,'

 

Then returned to his paper. The priest, thinking about what he had said,

 

nudged the old pilot and apologized.

 

'I'm very sorry. I didn't mean to come on so strong. How long have you had

 

arthritis?'

 

The old fighter pilot answered, 'I don't have it, Father. I was just reading

 

here that the 'Pope has arthritis'.'

However, I have arthritis and now feel that I have missed out on some things.

 

Thanks a lot!
