But you forgot the rest...

The next day another guy with no arms applied for the same job.
He bore an unmistakable resemblence to the first bell ringer,
and when the priest mentioned it, he said the other one was his
brother.  He had the same technique as his deceased brother, but
he assured the priest that he was the expert bell-ringer in the
family (he taught his brother everything he knew), and he could
do the job.  The priest was dubious, but he needed a bell ringer.
Again, after a month of making the bell toll with his face, it was
finally too much for the man.  After one particularly beautiful tone,
he staggered around the bell tower, fell off the ledge, plummeted to
the ground, and died.  As he fell, the mayor of the town and the priest
were walking below.  The man hit the ground right in front of the two.

  "Omigod!"  cried the mayor.  "Who is this poor man?"

To which the priest replied...

    "I don't know his name, but he's a dead ringer for the other one."
