in reply to The Lord's Prayer

I was in Catholic school all the way thru High School, and everyone knows that a Hail Mary must follow the Our Father prayer. The popular version follows below: 
while( $Hail_Mary eq 'full_of_grace')
    {
     slap_the_devil_across_the_face()
    }

    Back when I was a sweet and innocent chorister, I came across a translation of Ave Maria plena gratia as "Most highly-favoured Lady" - it's playing fast and loose with the meaning, but it fitted the music better. Naturally, we always sang "most highly-flavoured gravy". It was extremely hard not to sing that in services. In fact, even now, while typing this message, I typed about gravy in the first sentence before going back and correcting it.
