InterVenus DeMilo is willing to part with Virginia Tam's legs but wants to keep the engagement ring. The already-married Virginia Tam has very generously agreed to part with the quite valuable but extra ring.

"Ain't THAT big o' me!", says VT.

Her husband is quite fond of the legs and has become quite attatched to them when they're attatched to her, but he DOES want her to keep the prosthetis tail around for the odd hot tub fantasy.....

A crowd ofSpecialists has gathered around Ms. DeMilo to deternine how to remove the ring, and most are even examining the right pair of legs.

A forfit of forefeet, that is to say the front two feet of her four feet, must be accomplished so that the removal of the ring is painless to both InterVenus AND VT, despite Nurse Ratched's protests. It's hard to tell what she wanted most, the ring or to witness the pain.

Three doctors hold the leg while another pulls on the ring that's on a freshly greased toe. After four unsuccessful tries, with a loud POP, a ring from her toe then they most quick-i-lye drew and restored it to Ms. DeMilo while Nurse Ratched gave her a glare that could cook an ox. She'd better guard that ring closely while she's in the building.

The four doctors heartily congradulated each other on a job well done and went down to a Doc-side bar to celebrate the large consulting fees they would all eventually collect. It took Drs. Fine and all three Howard brothers, Shemp having to have been called in from the West Coast.

Ain't it GREAT to have Specialists!....

A note was handed to Nurse Ratched saying that her request for an orderly to remove everything from her locker and have it with fresh replacements had been successfully carried out.

InterVenus DeMilo gets a message from her insurance provider, Allstate, promising her good hands.

Herman decline's The Squid's challenge of a best-of-ten arm wrestling match, reminding him that InterVenus DeMilo had originally lost both of her arms in a wrestling match to win a brown-eyed handsome man.

Most of the gang goes off to check out SINSULL'S JD-IV and cheer her up.

We leave VT alone with her husband, and they goes home, her tail wagging behind her.

Severn looks at Nurse Mary Ellen Cauterize and then at InterVenus, thinking, "Decisions, decisions......".

Could things actually be back to normal?....
