An unfortunate accident left a man minus his two arms, and when he recuperated, he started thinking about getting a job. Looking through the classifieds, he saw that the church was looking for a bell ringer, and after thinking about it, decided he would apply for the job.
Presenting himself before the holy father, he applied for the job. The priest then replied: "I would love to hire you for the job, in the interest of good christian charity, my son, but I see you have no arms. How would you ring the bells"?
Let me show you, father. And with that, the armless man ran headfirst into the bells, causing them to ring out! The priest was startled, but decided to hire the man. Everything went well for the first week, but then one day the armless man missed the bells, and fell to his death from the church tower.
As a police officer filled out the accident report, the priest came running up, and the policeman asked the priest if he knew the dead man's name? The priest replied: "No officer, but his face rings a bell"

The dead man had a twin brother. The brother felt the least he could do was honor his dead brother's last with. So he went to the church, climbed the steeple and rang the bell, The bell swung back, hit the brother and caused him to fall to his death. The congregation came out of the church, asking the priest if he knew who the man was. "No" replied the priest - "but he sure is a dead ringer for the first guy".
