There was an unfortunate accident at work which resulted in the loss of a poor man's two arms. 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"

And the next week, they hired his twin brother. Same scenario as he went over the edge and died. Passesrby were standing around, rubbernecking. One of them asked the cop "who is this guy?"
The Cop replied " I don't know his name, but he's a dead-ringer for the guy last week!".
