The Bell ringer at the local church dies

The next day a man shows up to apply for, and gets the job. When the priest is watching the new bellringer on his first day, he notices the man has an unusual style of ringing the bell. He runs and jumps and hits the bell with his face. It's odd, the priest thinks, but it gets the job done, and he lets the man do his job.

A couple days later the new bellringer misses the bell and falls from the clocktower to his death. When the crowd gathers, someone asks, "who was he?"

In reply someone says "I'm not sure, but his face sure rings a bell."

Later, another man shows up for the bellringer job, and reveals that he his the brother of the last bellringer. After a couple days, he too falls to his death.

Once again the crowd gathers, and this time someone asks "what was his name?"

"I don't know," someone says, "but he sure is a dead ringer for his brother."
