The twin brother of the dead man, also with no arms, came to the priest and informed him that he wanted to carry on the duties of his dead brother as a family duty. He demonstrated his bell ringing ability much as his brother had, and the priest gave him the job. Alas, this man too didn't last very long at the job, and one day he also staggered and fell to his death. Again, the mayor and priest were walking below at the time and the mayor again asked the priest if he knew the poor unfortunate man. The priest replied... "I don't know his name, but he's a dead ringer for his brother." -- _____ Ron Bemis / o o \ Support Bacteria - Tektronix | \___/ | It's the only culture Redmond, OR \_____/ Some people have!
