ASSUMPTION IS THE MOTHER OF SCREW UPS

The following was a mail received from Bruno's One Minute eMail and of course has a huge lesson for all of us and it takes only a minute to read.

A drunken man with a strong smell of gin...

...sat down on a subway next to a priest. The man's tie was stained, his face 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 he 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 ..." and returned to his paper.

The priest, thinking about what he had said, nudged the man and apologized. "I'm 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 that the Pope does."
