The next day, another armless man knocks on the priests door, and tells him, "I'm the brother of the dead bell-ringer. Not only do I have to support my family, but now I have to support his too. Can I please have his job? The priest was finally convinced, and the armless brother started running at the bell to ring it with his face, just like his brother had. After a month, he too hit the bell, staggered, fell and died. Once again the mayor asked the priest, "Who was that?" To which the priest replied... I dunno, but he's a dead ringer for his brother. (double moan) Don't blame yteitz...This is Yair Griver borrowing his account. Yair Griver You can't always get what you want, But if you try sometimes You just might find... YOU NEVER KNOW!
