A priest was disgusted with the drunk
Sitting next to him reading the news.
The drunk turned to the priest and asked him,
With words that were slurred by too much booze,

“What is it that causes arthritis?”
The priest answered, “Drinking ‘way too much,
And sleeping around with loose women,
Then using addiction as a crutch!”

Then with a twinge of conscience, he said,
“But don’t despair because there is hope.”
“I don’t have arthritis,” the drunk said;
“This article is about the Pope!”
