Re: PUNishment.......
So the "bell ringer search committee" continued trying to find a replacement. Ads were reposted and candidate interviews scheduled. Same thing happens. The most likely applicant asked to demonstrate his ringing technique in the belfry, and as their other candidate had done, ran and leapt at the bell head first.
Bonnnnggggg! Great tone. Bonnnnnggg!!! Another great tone. The committee marveled at his technique and requested just one more peal of the bell.
Candidate backs off shaking his head to clear it, runs at the bell, leaps, misses and plunges to his death. Once again the cops are called and ask if anyone can identify the dead man.
"We don't really know the fellow, but he's a dead ringer for the other guy."
