English Corner: Funny Story

Hello! Miss Choco 'ere. I've got a funny story to share with you guys. It's not original, obviously, since I'm not good at creating funny stories. I got it from a book titled 100 Church Jokes or something like that. The joke's actually supposed to be in English, but it was translated and became not funny at all. I warn you that you have to know at least this one popular idiom to understand the story!

Well, onwards!

A guy got a job to ring the church's bell before the mass starts, but he was unable to figure how to ring the bell. In frustation he ran around and crashed into the bell face first, and the bell rang. Satisfied that he finally figured how to do it, from then on he always ran about and crashed into the bell to do his job. The bell was obviously NOT on the ground. One day when the guy was running to crash into the bell, his feet slipped and he fell down. He died of a broken neck. Hearing a 'thud' sound, the people who attended the church went outside to look what happened. When they saw the guy, they were about to report this incident but apparently no one knew the guy's name. One of the crowds commented, "Hey, I know that guy! His face rings a bell!"

I sincerely hope that was funny. Have a nice day!
