_______________

A town had a church bell that was rung every hour. One day, the bell rope broke, and the minister couldn’t find anyone to fix it. Finally, a man came by to offer his services. He had a freakishly large head and a skull as hard as steel. “I heard the bell rope is broken,” he said, his giant head bobbing. “I can be your new bell ringer.”

The minister was doubtful. “This is very important,” he explained. “The bell must be rung every hour between 6 a.m. and 9 p.m. How can you do that with the broken rope?”

“I have it all figured out,” the visitor said as he nodded his huge head enthusiastically.

“It’s almost noon,” the minister pointed out. “Could you show me?”

Instead of walking up the stairs of the bell tower, the man sprinted up the spiral staircase, faster and faster until he achieved enough momentum to ram his giant head into the bell. The ringing echoed through the town. “You’re hired!” said the minister.

Every day, from morning ‘til night, the man rang the bell. The locals came to respect and adore him. One day, during a rainstorm, the man was dashing up the staircase to ring the bell. He slipped on the wet stairs, tumbled over the side of the staircase, and fell to his death.

Two townspeople rushed over. One asked, “Who is that?”

The second responded, “I never learned his name, but his face sure rings a bell.”

The bell ringer’s funeral was attended by everyone in town. Afterward, a familiar-looking man approached the minister. “The bell ringer was my brother,” the newcomer said. The resemblance was obvious: This man also had a giant head with a skull as hard as steel. “After seeing how beloved he was and how kind everyone is here, I’d like to be your new bell ringer,” the brother said. Delighted, the minister agreed.

The new bell ringer was just as dependable as his brother. But soon there was another downpour. As the bell ringer raced up the stairs, he slipped, tumbled over the railing, and fell to his death.

The same two townspeople rushed over. The first asked, “Do you know him?”

The second replied, “Not really, but he’s a dead ringer for his brother.”

A man goes to a doctor and tells him, “Doc, I’m happy with my life and want to be around as long as possible. How can I live to be 100 years old?”

The doctor thinks for a minute. Looking the patient right in the eye, he says, “If you do all of these things without fail, you should be able to achieve your goal.”

“Great!” the man says. “Just tell me what to do!”

“First, stop eating anything that tastes good. No more burgers, pizza, or ice cream. For you, it’s all kale and smoothies now. You’re also going to have to exercise at least four hours a day to counteract your metabolism. If you feel you don’t have time, you must spend less time with your family, watch less TV— whatever it takes.” The patient looks dismayed but is taking notes. The doctor continues, “Good news: you can still drink. But no more beer or cocktails. Once a week, you can have half a glass of the most bitter red wine you can find.”

“Wow,” the man says. “If I do all that, I can happily live to be 100?”

“Wait,” the doctor replies, “I didn’t say anything about ‘happily.’ ”

“How’s your blood pressure?”

“Good,” he says. But when the nurse takes his blood pressure, it’s extremely elevated. Before she can speak, he defends himself. “Of course it’s high!” he shouts. “What did you expect? When I came in here, I was tall and thin, and now all of a sudden I’m short and chubby!”

After raising four kids, a woman reentered the workforce. Although she was not trained in medicine, she decided her experience as a mother qualified her to open a medical clinic. She guaranteed that she could treat any health problem for $250. A sign on her door read “If you’re not cured, I’ll give you $500.”

One man thought this was a good opportunity to earn $500. Entering the clinic, he said, “Doctor, I’ve lost my sense of taste. Foods seem to have no flavor.”

The woman called to her assistant, “Nurse, please bring medicine B24, and give the patient a half-ounce dose.”

After the nurse fed him the medicine, the man exclaimed, “This is rubbing alcohol!”

The mom said, “Congratulations! Your sense of taste has been restored. That will be $250.”

The customer got upset and concocted a plan to get his money back. A few days later, he walked in and said, “Doctor, I’ve lost my memory. I can’t remember anything.”

The mom called out, “Nurse, please bring medicine B24, and give the patient a half-ounce dose.”

The man exclaimed, “But that’s rubbing alcohol!”

The woman said, “Congratulations! You’ve got your memory back. That will be $250.”

Angrily, the man stormed out. Later, he returned, saying, “Doctor, something is wrong with my eyes. I can barely see.”

The woman thought for a moment and responded, “Well, I don’t have a medicine for that. Take this $500.”

Looking at the bills, the man protested, “But this is $250.”

Snatching the money out of his hands, the woman said, “Congratulations! You got your vision back! That will be $250.”
