To Jim Carroll,

Here's the follow up to your joke:

Soon after the demise of the hunchback's untimely (if right to the second) demise, a man comes to the cathedral and inquires about the job,saying that the hunchback had been his sibling and he'd be willing to work for just food and board to be able to carry on his late brother's life's work. Reluctantly, reminding the man of the dangers involved, the fellow is given the job. Things go well for awhile, until one day, he repeated the error of his predecessor and met the same fate.
