There was a horrible automobile crash and the driver of the car lay on the side of the road dying. A passerby said to him kindly, “why don’t you say a prayer?”
“I don’t know any,” said the stricken man.
“Haven’t you had any contact with religion?”
“As a boy, we used to live next to a Catholic Church.”
“That’s it!” said the well-wisher. “Just repeat what you heard in the church!”
“Okay,” said the injured man. “Under the B-15! Under the I-22!”
