Here is an example of a punch line with no build up associated with it.

After Quasimodo's death, the bishop of the Cathedral
of Notre Dame sent word through the streets of Paris that a new bell ringer
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 skill, he had
decided to call it a day. Just then, an armless man approached him and
announced that he was there to apply for the bell ringer's job.
The bishop was incredulous. "You have no arms!" "No matter," said the man.
"Observe!" And he began striking the bells with his face, producing a
beautiful melody on the carillon.
The bishop listened in astonishment; convinced he had finally found a
replacement for Quasimodo. But suddenly, rushing forward to strike a bell,

The armless man tripped and plunged headlong out of 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 sadly replied,

"BUT HIS FACE RINGS A BELL"....

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 bell ringer 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 honour 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, twirled around, and died on the spot. Two
monks, hearing the bishop's cries of grief of this second tragedy, rushed
up the stairs to his side.

What has happened? Who is the man?" the first monk
asked breathlessly. "I don't know his name, "sighed the distraught
bishop,"but.............

HE'S A DEAD RINGER FOR HIS BROTHER"...

*Groans, gets his hat and asks a mod to move this to the Joke of the day thread*
