After working in the bell tower at Notre Dame for many years, Quasimodo decided that he wanted a vacation.
After doing a search the leaders in charge found a temp replacement for him during the break. He even looked a little bit like Quasimodo and had a small hunched back.
Before going on his trip, Quasimodo was to train his replacement, and took him up to the bell tower. At 1:00, Quasimodo told him that the secret was to lean forward and hit the bell with the front of his head. Quasimodo then demonstrated and RING, everyone down on the street looked up and paused to give praise to Quasimodo.
At 2:00, Quasimodo told his apprentice to give it a try. THUD, THUD. It didn't go well. So, Quasimodo quickly rang the bell RING, RING. And, everyone down on the street looked up and paused to give praise to Quasimodo.
Quasimodo told his intern that he probably needed more pressure. Maybe to arch his back more before leaning into the bell to ring it. So, his trainee gave it a try at 3:00 and THUD, THUD, THUD. Quasimodo quickly rang the bell RING, RING, RING. And, everyon down on the street looked up and paused to give praise to Quasimodo.
At 4:00, Quasimodo told his practice ringer that maybe he needed a running start. So, the guy backed up, not looking and backed out of the bell tower window and fell to his death.
Three nuns come walking by and see the guy on the cobblestones beneath the bell tower of Notre Dame. The first nun says "I wonder who this is?" The second nun says "His face doesn't ring a bell." The third nun says "But he's sure a dead-ringer for Quasimodo."

I got into an accident and I was surprised when the doctor handed me a report saying that my fingers were all broken.
The news was hard for me to grasp.

I'm sure if you write about it, this could become a gripping saga and you would have readers in the palm of your hand.

I was going to learn how to juggle, but I didn't have the balls.

I never trust those attendance figures at baseball games. I think they're all just ballpark numbers.

I just found out my girlfriend is really a ghost.
I had my suspicions as soon as she walked through the door.

I pulled out a world map, gave a dart to my wife and said: “I’ll take you on a vacation to where the dart lands”...
Turns out we’re going to spend the next three weeks behind the fridge.

Devil: And this is the lake of lava you will be spending eternity in.
Me: Actually we are underground so it would be magma.
Devil: This is why you're here you realize.
