A man is struck by a bus on a busy street in New York City. He lies dying on the sidewalk as a crowd of spectators gathers around. "A priest! Somebody get me a priest!" the man gasps. A policeman checks the crowd but finds no priest, no minister, no man of God of any kind.
"A PRIEST, PLEASE!" the dying man says again. Then out of the crowd steps a little old Jewish man of at least eighty years of age." Mr. Policeman," says the man, "I'm not a priest. I'm not even a Catholic. But for fifty years now I'm living behind St. Mary's Catholic Church on Third Avenue, and every night I'm listening to the Catholic litany. Maybe I can be of some comfort to this man."
The policeman agrees and brings the octogenarian over to the dying man. He kneels down, leans over the injured, and says in a solemn voice: "B - 4. I - 19. N - 38. G - 54. O - 72."

Hi Candy, Thanks for sharing yet another entertaining joke. And the dying man suddenly feels good enough to yell out BINGO!

Haha, that is a good one and funny that he refers to that as the Catholic litany.

Had to check this one out, Candy, as I am originally from NYC. However, not being Catholic, it took me a moment to "get it."
