So cast your mind back to France.
We all know the story of Notre Damme, and Quasimodo, but when he passed away the bishop had no idea who would ring the bells. Fraught, he held open auditions.
Well, most Parisians were rubbish, frankly. Nobody could replace Quasimodo. At the end of the day, one man walked in, and said:
"Bishop, I´d like to try for the position. However, I have a strange way of ringing the bells."
With nobody else being a sensible choice, the Bishop agreed.
The man rang the bells with his face, headbutting the heavy MEHTUL objects with great force. However, it was so tuneful that all the people in the street stopped to listen. The bishop closed his eyes and became lost in the melody. On the final note, the mand took a running start, but missed his footing and fell from the belltower.
Alarmed, the bishop ran downstairs and into the street where a crowd had gathered.
"Bishop! Bishop! Who was this man? He had so much talent..."
The bishop was unable to answer the crowd -- he had never asked the man what he was called. Shrugging, he plainly spoke:
"I don´t know his name, but his face rings a bell..."
-------------------------------
The next day, still without a bellringer, the trials continue. Another man, looking similar to the one from yesterday, arrives. He demands that the bishop let him try too.
"I am my the dead man´s brother. I too can play the bells, albeit in a more conventional way. It´s only fair that you let me try."
Again, the man is brilliant, and the music so pleasant that a crowd again forms in the street. But when it´s time for the final note, the bell comes loose and falls, crushing the man.
Awaiting the finale, the crowd rush up the belltower.
"Bishop! Who was this man? He was so good..."
Cursing under his breath, the bishop is again unable to answer. He hadn´t asked the man´s name again. All he was able to say was:
"I´m sorry, I don´t know what he´s called, but he´s a dead ringer for his brother!"
And B, I think England could use someone a little off the wall. And I smoke, if that makes you a bad person then half the world is doomed.

The end is nigh!

A holiday joke:
To All My Democrat Friends:
Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low-stress, non-addictive, gender-neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasion and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all. I also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2008, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make America great. Not to imply that America is necessarily greater than any other country nor the only America in the Western Hemisphere . Also, this wish is made without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith or sexual preference of the wishee.
To My Republican Friends:
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

That one went over -- or, uh, under -- my head.
See other much-maligned creatures in my webcomic: http://downscale.comicgenesis.com
A Marine colonel on his way home from work at the Pentagon came to a dead halt in traffic and thought to himself, "Wow, this traffic seems worse than usual. Nothing's even moving."
He notices a police officer walking back and forth between lines of cars so he rolls down his window and asks, "Excuse me, Officer, what's the hold up?"
The Officer replies, "Mrs. Hillary Clinton is up ahead, standing in the middle of the road. She says she's depressed, and she's still mad that Bill cheated on her. She's trying to raise money for her campaign, and she says if she does not get over $100,000, she'll douse herself with gasoline, and light herself on fire. I'm walking around taking up a collection for her."
"Oh really? How much have you collected so far?"
"So far only about three hundred gallons but I've got a lot of folks still siphoning."

Astro> gforce's smiles can cure cancer in kittensgforce422 is awesome because:
-He made the absolute nicest comments about me in the other topic. I didn't respond to them yet, because I suck, but they are greatly appreciated! =D
-I would say he would also be a good runner up as one of the nicest people alive.
-He joined the IRC sometimes. But not enough, I say! Chat moar =D
-He is evidently only 18 year old but he could easily pass for 25. =D
-He is a drummer like *I* am and this in itself is cool.

Babies have big heads and big eyes, and tiny little bodies with tiny little arms and legs. So did the aliens at Roswell! I rest my case.
