A Catholic's Last Rites...
Humor
A bus on a busy street struck a Catholic man. He was lying near death on the sidewalk as a crowd gathered.
"A priest. Somebody get me a priest!" the man gasped.
Long seconds dragged on but no one stepped out of the crowd. A policeman checked the crowd and finally yelled, "A PRIEST, PLEASE! Isn't there a priest in this crowd to give this man his last rites?"
Finally, out of the crowd stepped a little old Jewish man in his 80s."Mr. Policeman," said the man, "I'm not a priest. I'm not even a Christian. But for 50 years now, I'm living behind the Catholic Church on Second Avenue, and every night I'm overhearing their services. I can recall a lot of it, and maybe I can be of some comfort to this poor man."The policeman agreed, and cleared the crowd so the man could get through to where the injured man lay.
The old Jewish man knelt down, leaned over the man and said in a solemn voice:
B-5 .... I-19 ... N-38 ... G-54 .... O-72. :o)

@Luigik:
Many American parishes raise money by playing a game of chance called "BINGO," in which each player has a card with the letters B-I-N-G-O across the top, and five rows of random numbers under each letter. Numbers are drawn at random, and the leader calls out a letter and a number (for example, "B-5"). If you have that number under that letter, you place a marker on top of it. The first …More

The first person to get five markers in a row says, "BINGO!" and he wins a prize.
The old man in this joke thinks that the BINGO game was a Catholic prayer. Evidently, he never heard Catholics saying any other prayers!
