The Bell Toller's Replacement

In medieval times, the town bell toller died, and the priest was looking for a replacement.

The next day, a man showed up and said he was perfect for the job. Without introducing himself, he charged up the bell tower steps, with the priest following behind. Instead of pulling the rope to ring the bell, the man backed up to the wall of the tower, put his head down, and charged like a bull at the bell. The bell rang out louder than ever before. The man shook the cobwebs out of his head, backed up, and ran at the bell to ring it a second time. The priest was impressed but asked the man if he could do it repeatedly because at noon, he'd have to ring the bell twelve times. The man backed up, put his head down, and ran at the bell a third time. Unfortunately, he hit off-center, glanced off the bell, and fell forward, stumbling out the portico in the tower—down 100 feet to the street below. The priest ran down the stairs and out to the street in a panic, asking the crowd gathered around, "Does anyone know this man?" A bystander said, "I don't know his name, but his face rings a bell."
