WELCOME to FRIDAY JULY 17th, 2026
Here’s The Story….
After Quasimodo’s death the bishop of the cathedral of Notre Dame sent word through the streets of Paris that a new bellringer was needed. The bishop decided that he would conduct the interviews personally and went up into the belfry to begin the screening process. After observing several applicants demonstrate their skills, he had decided to call it a day when an armless man approached him and announced that he was there to apply for the bellringer’s job.
The bishop was incredulous. “You have no arms!”
“No matter,” said the man, “Observe!” He then began striking the bells with his face, producing a beautiful melody.
The bishop listened in astonishment, convinced that he had finally found a suitable replacement for Quasimodo.
Suddenly, rushing forward to strike a bell, the armless man tripped, and plunged headlong out the belfry window to his death in the street below. The stunned bishop rushed to his side. When he reached the street, a crowd had gathered around the fallen figure, drawn by the beautiful music they had heard only moments before.
As they silently parted to let the bishop through, one of them asked, “Bishop, who was this man?”
“I don’t know his name,” the bishop replied sadly, “but his face rings a bell.”
(but wait, there’s more…)
The following day, despite the sadness that weighed heavily on his heart due to the unfortunate death of the armless campanologist, the bishop continued his interviews for the bellringer of Notre Dame. The first man to approach him said, “Your Excellency, I am the brother of the poor, armless wretch that fell to his death from this very belfry yesterday. I pray that you honor his life by allowing me to replace him in this duty.”
The bishop agreed to give the man an audition, and as the armless man’s brother stooped to pick up a mallet to strike the first bell, he groaned, clutched at his chest and died on the spot. Two monks, hearing the bishop’s cries of grief at this second tragedy, rushed up the stairs to his side. “What has happened?” the first breathlessly asked, “Who is this man?” “I don’t know his name,” sighed the distraught bishop, ” but he’s a dead ringer for his brother.” 😯🙂😂
That’s my story and I’m sticking to it! Have a WONDERFUL WEEKEND ‘people, stay safe,
and whatever you do, don’t forget to laff it up! Peace, I am outta here! Eucman! 😁

FRIDAY’s Quizzler….
Hans Ernest Froopaloop, Jr. wants to drive his motorboat across a lake. At the same time, Heather wants to swim across the lake. So, Heather dons her gorgeous white string bikini and jumps into the lake at the same time Hans starts his motor.
They both follow exactly the same path and maintain a constant speed. Hans’s motorboat’s speed is exactly ten times as fast as Heather’s swimming speed.
However, when Hans is three-quarters of the way to the destination, the motorboat runs out of gas. Then it decides to ignore Newton’s First Law and immediately comes to a complete stop.
Now poor Hans has to row his boat the rest of the way. But he is such a slow rower, and Heather is such a fast swimmer, that she swims exactly four times as fast as he rows.
Who will reach the destination first?
