He’s Armless.
A man who was born with no arms wished to seek employment.Fearing nobody would hire him because of his obvious disability,he thought
he’d answer a help wanted sign he saw posted at his church.
He rang the bell at the rectory and when the pastor opened the door
he was moved with pity.He asked,”What can I do for you,my son?”
The man said: ” I’ve come to answer your help wanted ad.”
The pastor became concerned and said that the ad was for a bell ringer.
He stammered that he didn’t think that he’d be able to handle the job.
The man pleaded and said “Won’t you give me a chance so I can show you
what I am capable of?”The pastor relented, and hired him.
The time came when the church bell had to be rung.The man made his way under the bell,took a running start and threw his body against the bell which resulted in a booming…”BONNGGGG” as soon as the vibrations subsided,he took another running start and threw his body into the other side of the bell with the expected result of “BONNGGGG”…
and so it went.
Now the armless man was at the job for several months to the delight of the pastor.One day,the guy was running late and in his haste,he ran up to the belfry and got his running leap at the bell without first getting under the bell.
As he ran right off the side of the tower he screamed.Everyone from within the church filed out and just stared.
Finally,somebody said,”Poor fellow,does anybody know who he is?”
To which came the answer from someone in the back….
“I don’t know his name,but hs face sure rings a bell.”

That’s just the first half of the joke.
The townspeople start their search anew, and one of the first to reply is the dead man’s brother. He is hired immediately.
One day, after a night on the town, the man gets careless in the bell tower, slips, and falls to the ground.
The crowd gathers around and someone asks if anyone knows the man’s name.
An old-timer replies, “I don’t know his name, but he’s a dead ringer for his brother.”
