A church advertises a job for a bell ringer Several people apply and the minister decides to have auditions to see who rings the bell the best. The last applicant comes in and the minister immediately notices that he has no arms. "Tell me, son, how do you intend to ring the bell with your disability?" "It's no problem," the applicant says, "I don't pull on cords. I just climb to the top of the tower and hit the bell with my face. Here, I'll show you." And he climbs up the tower and hits the bell with his face. The minister is amazed, it is the most beautiful, melodic ringing of the bells he has ever heard. But tragically, the man loses his balance and falls from the bell tower, dying immediately. As the police arrive to investigate, they ask the minister "Who is this man?" The minister says "I didn't get his name, but his face rings a bell." --- The next week, the minister is in his office when someone knocks on his door. "Father," he says, "The man who died here last week was my brother." "Oh, it was such a tragedy. Are you okay my son?" "Yes, Father, I am still in grief over my loss, but I've decided to honor my brother. I would like to apply for the bell ringer job. As you can see I have both of my arms so I don't need to use my face as my brother did." The minister thinks for a second. "Yes, of course, perhaps you could ring the bells now to show us how you do." So the man goes to the bell tower and begins pulling the ropes and ringing the bells. Tragically, a loose brick falls from the tower and strikes the man, killing him instantly. The police again arrive and ask the minister "My word, this is the second death this week. Who is this man?" The minister says "I don't know, but he's a dead ringer for his brother."
