A Man With No Arms Asks To Ring The Steeple Bell

November 15, 2024

A priest is in his church, placing prayer books among the pews when a man with no arms walks inside.
 
The priest say, "Can I help you my son?"
 
The man says, "Father, it's been my life long dream to ring the steeple bell. I was wondering if you would allow me the honor."
 
The priest says, "Well, I don't mean to be indelicate, but you have no arms. How on God's Earth would you pull the rope?"
 
"Well I think I have that figured out", the man said, "if you would allow me to demonstrate."
 
"Very well." The priest said and he lead the man up the staircase to the steeple where the bell is. Without a word the man bends over at the waist and runs face first into the bell. It lurches forward with a loud BONG, but on the way back it hits the man and knocks him off the steeple and he falls all the way to the ground.
 
The priest in a panic runs down the stairs and out the church doors, where a small crowd was gathered. The priest looked at the man and he was clearly dead,
 
Just then a fellow from the town looks at the priest and says, "Father, did you know this man?"
 
The priest says, "I don't but his face rings a bell."
 
The next day a man walks in the church and says, "Father, it was my brother that fell from your steeple yesterday. All he ever wanted to do was ring that bell. I wonder, would you allow me to ring the bell in his honor?"
 
The priest notices that this man has both arms, so he agrees and leads him up to the steeple. Once they get up there, without a word, the man bends at the waist as his brother did, and runs face first into the bell. It goes BONG, and on the recoil, it hits the man and knocks him off the steeple to his death.
 
Once again the priest is mortified and runs down the stairs and out to the street to where the townsfolk are gathering around the body. Once again the same fellow looks at the priest and says, "Now I don't suppose you know who this man is father."
 
The priest said, "I don't, but he's a dead ringer for his brother."
