This armless kid goes to the local church
He tells the pastor he would like to be the church bell ringer.
The pastor noticing the boy has no arms trys to persuade the
kid to find something else he could do. Adamant about rining the bell, the boy persists. The pastor finally gives in and agrees.
Sunday morning as the crowd was gathering, the pastor leads the boy upstairs to the bell. Without warning the boy leans back and hits the bell with his head, not a sound from the bell..The pastor tells the kid maybe it wasnt a good idea, but the boy persists that he can do it, so the pastor gives him another chance. The boy backs up about 10 feet, and runs head first into the bell, not a sound out of the bell.. The pastor says thats it we have to find you another job. After much begging the boy tells the pastor, one more chance, if he cant make it ring he will find another job in the church. The pastor agrees. so the boy backs up 15 feet, takes off running, tripped and fell from the bell tower to the ground.. The pastor runs down stairs to find the bout out cold with a crowd gathered. Someone asked, who is this boy? The pastor looks at them and says, I dont know but his face rings a bell! :tongue:

The next week the pastor thinks he sees a ghost as another looking armless boy knocks on his door (with his head of course). He explains he is the other boy's identical twin brother and pleads for the same job. The pastor doesn't want to, but feeling guilty gives him a trial.
Exactly the same thing happens, a crowd gathers round, and the pastor asks if anyone knows the boy.
One man says,
"No but he's a dead ringer for that other kid."
