Anyway, you'll remember how Quasimodo met his end. So the priest in charge of Notre Dame advertised for a new bell-ringer.
Applicant came and went. Even Paul S. was dismissed as too unqualified to produce a decent peal from the mighty bells. Then a huge featureless guy came running into Notre Dame's HR office, grunting and gesticulating wildly as he ran up the bell tower. Once up there, he demonstrated his skills, headbutting the bell to make it ring, catching the reverse swing, headbutting it again. Just as the priest of Notre Dame was abut to offer the man a job, the bell-ringer missed the bell and flew out of the window.
As the priest and the HR people reached the crowd gathered around the dead bell-ringer, a cop came by. Having ascertained the circumstances of the poor man's death, the gendarme asked the priest: "Do you know this man?"
The priest replied: "I don't know his name, but his face certainly rings a bell".

The priest replied: "I don't know his name, but his face certainly rings a bell".
After this, they still need a new bell-ringer, of course, and the next day another guy arrives, explaining only that he's the brother of the last guy and equally good in the campanology stakes.
Before the priest can reply, the guy runs into the bell tower and puts on exactly the same performance, only to make the same mistake as his sibling and come to a similarly sticky end.
Once again a crowd gathers, and once again the gendarme arrives and asks the priest if he knows who the deceased is. "No," replies the priest, "but he's a dead ringer for his brother."
