The Elastic Ring.
A guest with a large head is chosen as the one on whom to experiment. The hostess holds up a lady’s ring and assures her guests that if she, while facing this guest, holds the ring in just the right position she can easily poke her guest’s head right through it without hurting him in the least. It sounds incredible but her friend of the large head stands obediently before her, she twists and turns the ring to get just the right position, finally succeeds, and giving a sigh of satisfaction, proceeds to poke his head through the ring by putting her finger through the ring and poking his head!
