Really bad joke that a friend just sent me... Centuries ago in a small village a horribly disfigured boy with no arms was raised in a church out of sight of the villagers who would have thought him to be evil. As he grew to adulthood, each Sunday he would hide in the floor
boards or in the walls and listen to the stories, songs and teachings that inspired his faith in God. He asked the pastor how he could participate and profess his love for God. The pastor knew the young man must always stay out of sight of the parishioners so he couldn't help in the church, but then he felt the pain in his arms of ringing the bell each Sunday for church. The young man saw this and said he could ring the bell. He could find a way to ring the bell though he had no arms. The pastor reluctantly agreed. On the first Sunday the boy ran full speed, face first into the bell producing the clearest and most melodic tones the bell had ever produced. The parishioners commended the pastor each week as the bell ringing became the signature throughout the countryside, but the boy's face took more and more punishment, and he became more grotesque. Then one day the boy running face first tripped and fell down the clock tower and laid unconscious in the middle of the church. The people rushed around him. "He is hideous!", "Who is he?", "How did he get here?" they all asked, then one man stepped forward and said "I don't know his name, but his face rings a bell." -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, December 28, 2001 8:32 AM To: CF-Community Subject: Re: joke-a-thon continues... Two melons fall in love and decide to get married, but knowing that their parents don't approve of their relationship they decide to run off and get married. So the boy melon sneaks a ladder to the girl melons house so that they can sneak out the window. Just as they are beginning to climb out the window, her father walks in and in a stunned voice yells, "Wait, you two cantaloupe!"
