After a long recuperation, the poor man was reading the classified want ads and saw that the church was looking for a bell ringer. After thinking about it for a while, he decided to apply for the job. The holy father said "My son, in the interest of good Christian charity, I would like to offer you this job, but you have no arms, how would you ring the bell"? The man replied "Father, let me show you", and with that, he backed up and ran headlong into the bell, which resounded quite loudly! The priest thought it quite strange, but decided to offer the man the job. All went well for a week, but one day the man missed the bell, and went flying out of the steeple to the ground and was killed. As a crowd gathered, and a policeman was filling out an accident report, the Father came running up and the policeman asked the father "Do you know this man"? And the priest replied "No, but his face rings a bell"
