Face Rings a Bell

This is truly awful and I apologize completely, but it still makes me laugh.

Once there was a church that had a bell that no one could ring. One day, a boy came and asked the priest if he could try. So the boy went up into the tower and ran straight into the bell, face-first. The bell tolled loud and clear. The shocked priest gave him the job. But one Sunday, he ran straight toward the bell with his face and missed and fell off the tower and died.

"Congregation," the priest said before the assembled masses. "Does anybody know this boy's name? Because I don't know him, but his face rings a bell."

The next day, another boy, who looks exactly like the first, comes to the church and applies for the job. The priest gives him the job. He rang the bell for several Sundays until he also missed and fell out of the tower and was killed. The priest asks again if anyone in the congregation knows him, saying "I don't know his name, but he's a dead ringer for that other boy!"

Ouch! And I thought the original was bad!

I thank you for the contribution to my bad jokes. My wife may not, but I certainly do. :-)

You're welcome! Best bad joke ever though:

Why did the chicken cross the road?

To show the `possum it could be done!
