On a step, a Pastor sat next to a drunk struggling to read a newspaper in front of the Church the Pastor ministers.
Suddenly, with a slurred voice, the drunk asked the Pastor:
“Do you know what arthritis is?”
The Pastor took the opportunity to lecture the drunk:
“It’s a disease caused by sinful and unruly life: excess, consumption of alcohol, drugs, marijuana, crack, and certainly lost for women, prostitutes, promiscuity, sex, binges, and other things I dare not say.”
The drunk widened his eyes, but continued to read the newspaper.
A little later, the Pastor, thinking that he had been too hard on the drunk, tried to soften:
“How long have you had arthritis?”
“I don’t have arthritis, the drunk replied. It says here in the paper that the General Overseer, GO has it.”
