What Causes Arthritis!
A drunk man who smelled of 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 damned”, 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."

Turns out that I have arthritis. While I can appreciate the humor of this story, trust me, arthritis ain't the least bit amusing. It hurts- a lot.
For those of you who may have thought, "why doesn't Dziadzi post any photos." I suffer from debilitating arthritis to the point that I rarely take shots any more. I seldom get out of the house so my chances of taking photos of my grandkids playing their sports is greatly diminished. Luckily, yesterday, for Easter, I was able to take about a dozen shots of them at the family's egg hunt. I don't wish to rain on anyone's joke, but, I do need to put arthritis in proper perspective.
