I can't resist--here's the rest of the joke: The next day another armless man came up to the priest and asked for the same job. He explained that he was the brother of the dead man. The priest gave him the job, cautioning him about the dangers. Nevertheless, soon after the new man also falls off the belfry, by coincidence, in front of the priest and the mayor. "And who's he?" the mayor asks... "I don't know," said the priest, "but he's a dead ringer for his brother." --JoSH
