'WHAT CAUSES ARTHRITIS'..????



A drunk man 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 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, contempt for your fellow man, sleeping around with prostitutes and lack of a bath.'

The drunk muttered in response, 'Well, I'll be darned,' then returned to his paper.

The priest, thinking about what he had said, nudged the man and apologized. 'I'm very sorry. I didn't mean to come on so strong. How long have you had arthritis?'

The drunk answered, 'I don't have it, Father. I was just reading here that the Pope does.'



MORAL: Make sure you understand the question before offering the an

I should probably refrain from commenting or I'll get myself in trouble on this one :) I hope you're having a good weekend, Sylvia - I gave Socks a pat, although he's not getting any walks today as my foot is acting up...

So the priest stuck his foot in his mouth ... what do you think he learned from it? We know what the drunk man learned ... The lesson to me would be, it doesn't pay to be judgmental. Very Funny Sylvia ... when is the actual move? It must be coming up soon or the King wouldn't be welcoming you already :) Great post, as usual.

What Can I Say?

What Can I Say?
I'm interested in almost everything. Use to like to travel, but it's too expensive now. I take Tai Chi classes, swim, volunteer in a Jump-start program for pre-schoolers. I'm an avid reader and like nearly everyone these days I follow politics avidly. I'm a former teacher and Special Projects Coordinator for a Telecommunications company, Assistant to the President of a Japanese silicon wafer manufacturing company. Am now enjoying retirement -- most of the time. I have two daughters, one son-in-law and two sons scattered all over the country. No grandchildren.
