A Man Sat Down On The Train.

A man sat down on the train beside a priest, looking slightly disheveled.

His tie was crooked and seemed a little worse for wear after a long day.

As they sat quietly, the man turned to the priest and asked,

“Father, what causes arthritis?”

The priest, thinking for a moment, replied,

“Well, it can be caused by stress, poor habits, and sometimes neglecting one’s health.”

The man nodded thoughtfully and went back to his newspaper. A few moments later, he muttered,

“Huh, that’s interesting…”

The priest, feeling a bit curious, asked,

“Why do you ask, my son? Do you have arthritis?”

The man shook his head and said,

“No, Father, I was just reading that the Pope does.”
