[Out vile jelly!]

A small parish in southern France advertises in the local paper for a bell-
ringer.  The add is answered by a man with no arms:

PRIEST: "My son, I appreciate your concern, but how will you ring the bell?"

The man strikes his head against the bell.

PRIEST: "That is very impressive, but I am afraid that it is simply not loud
         enough to be heard by all in the village."

MAN:	"Please give me another chance father."

So the man takes a run at the bell, leaps into the air, misses, and flys out
the opening to his death far below.  Later, a police inspector questions the
priest.

INSPECTOR: "Do you know the name of the man Father?"

PRIEST:	(Scratching his head) "No, but his face sure rings a bell"

So the next day, the bizarre scene is repeated, by yet another armless man
(YAAM).  He too, flies out the bellfry to his death, and again the inspector
comes to question the priest.

INSPECTOR: "Surely Father, can you tell me the name of this man?"

PRIEST:	"No, but he sure is a dead-ringer for the first guy."

Groan!
