Two men were strolling past a church when one commented to his friend, "Aren't the church bells lovely?"

The friend said he didn't make out what was said so the first man repeated, "Aren't those chimes beautiful?"

Again, his friend exclaimed he couldn't make out what was said so the first man repeated louder, "The bells, the bells, aren't they beautiful!"

The second man looked at him and said, "Sorry, I can't make out what you're saying because of those lousy bells!"
