the bells!! the bells!!
hell's bells!!
bad gag (part un)
the church needed a bell ringer and advertised with the daily crier of the town..
the next day, quasimodo came and applied for the job... he was the only one so the priest gave him a chance to see if he could do the job..
quasimodo told the priest he had a unique way of ringing the bells and told the priest not to be alarmed... he then ran full speed and bashed into the bell with his face!
however, the bell rang out beautifully and sounded better than the usual way.. although disturbed, the priest gave quasimodo the job...
so each day, quasimodo climbed up the belfry and ran full speed and bashed his face into the bell... BONG!!
until one day, when running full speed, he tripped and fell out of the belfry to his death..
everyone in town ran to see what happened and the priest asked around "does anyone know who he is or if he has a family?"
no one knew but one of the villagers thought he saw quasimodo before.. he said
"he's familiar.. his face rings a bell"
(part deux)
a week after they buried quasimodo, a man who looks exactly like quasimodo appeared at the church and said he was the twin brother of quasimodo.. he asked for quasimodo's job as he could also ring the bells as well as his brother albeit using the conventional method...
the priest who needed a bell ringer tried him out and found him vigourously pulling the ropes, ringing the bells beautifully.. so he hired the brother..
this went on for a month until one day, he pulled on the ropes too hard and a bell came crashing down the belfry, killing him..
again, the commotion made the whole town come to the church to have a look...
the priest again asked if anyone knew who he was and if he had a family..
no one knew but one of the villagers said
"i not sure who he is, but he's a dead ringer for his brother"
