'armless joke

[Fubar]

After Quasimodo's death, the bishop of the Cathedral of Notre Dame sent word through the streets of Paris that a new bell ringer was needed.

The bishop decided that he would conduct the interviews personally and went up into the belfry to begin the screening process.

After observing several applicants demonstrating their skills, he had to call it a day. Just then , an armless man approached him and announced that he was there to apply for the bell ringers job.

The bishop was incredulous. "You have no arms"!!!"

"No matter " said the man. "Observe!" And he began striking the bells with his face, producing a beautiful melody on the carillon.

The bishop listened in astonishment; convinced he had finally found a replacement for Quasimodo. But suddenly. rushing forward to strike a bell, the armless man tripped and plunged headlong out of the belfry window to

his death in the street below. The stunned bishop rushed to his side. When he reached the street, a crowd had gathered around the fallen figure,drawn by the beautiful music they had heard only moments before. As they

silently parted to let the bishop through, one of them asked, "Bishop, who was this man?"

"I don't know his name" the bishop sadly replied,

"but his face rings a bell"!!!!!

Here's the second part (if I can remember it correctly).

On hearing of the death, the man's twin brother decides to try for the job as he feels duty-bound to fill the position. He attends the interview, and rings the bell with great skill. Unfortunately, just as he finishes he trips and falls from the belfry. Dead on the street below.

The stunned bishop rushed to the man's side. When he reached the street, a crowd had gathered around the fallen figure,drawn by the beautiful music they had heard only moments before. As they silently parted to let the bishop through, one of them asked, "Bishop, who was this man?"

"I don't know his name" the bishop sadly replied, "but he's a dead ringer for his brother".

Anybody got the bottle to do the joke about Quasimodo's death, the one that starts where he is lying in a pool of blood on the pavement below the Catherderal?

I expect not for fear of being banned
