A tourist was visiting Notre Dame...

[Clockwork]

A tourist was visiting Notre Dame. While the tour group were in the belfry they were lucky enough to see Quasimodo ringing the bells. Quasi’ would give himself a running start and sprint (as fast as his poor deformed body would allow) then just as he approached the bell he’d leap into the air and nut it!

BONG…

Then he’d back off, line up another bell and repeat the procedure.

BONG…

The tourist was very impressed and as he reckoned himself to be a bit of a hard man he resolved to try this for himself. He waited until the tour party wondered off and crossed the rope barrier, choosing the biggest bell in the belfry, which was still swinging slightly, he lined it up and started his run. Quasi’ called out to stop him but the tourist was determined to go through with his plan. Unfortunately he mistimed his leap and ran face first into the bell.

BONG…

His nose was spread across his face, he had broken teeth and as he staggered backwards dazed he stumbled over the guard rail and fell to his death on the steps of the Cathedral below.

A crowd had gathered by the time Quasi had made his way down out of the belfry to the Cathedral steps and as he arrived the locals turned to him. “Do you know this man?” they ask. Quasi, hunched over and looking down at the tourist’s body replies. “No, but his face rings a bell.”

Of course.....

The tourist was with a party of drunk aussies on the way to ANZAC cove... His mate was a bit annoyed about his friends death but also reckoned himself to be an even harder man and of course, being half cut he resolved to complete the deed for the honour of all aussies. He saw his opportunity as everyone was preoccupied with the deceased and crossed the rope barrier, choosing the same bell in the belfry, which was still swinging slightly, he lined it up and started his run. Unfortunately he too mistimed his leap and ran face first into the bell.

BONG…

His nose too was spread across his face, he had the broken teeth and as he staggered backwards dazed he too stumbled over the guard rail and fell to his death on the steps of the Cathedral below right beside his dead mate.

A crowd was stunned. When Quasi hurried back down out of the belfry to the Cathedral steps the locals turned to him. “Well I don't suppose you know this man either?” they ask.

Quasi, hunched over and looking down at the tourist’s body and sighed.... “No, but he's a dead ringer for his mate.”
