Excerpt from Skinny Legs and All
© 1990 Tom Robbins
Ellen Cherry set down the pickles and regarded him drolly. For
all of his rowdy bluster, she knew him to be actually rather shy
in the trenches. "Oh," she said finally, "some married men are
expert spelunkers." She took his left hand and, lubricating his
ring finger by licking it, removed his wedding band. His
protests dwindled into grunts when she gave the finger a bonus
suck. Hiking her skirt up to her waist and pulling her panties
down a few tantalizing inches, she slipped the wedding ring into
her vagina. She gave it a poke to, well, ascertain that it was
securely hidden; then, with a kind of reverse flourish, like a
magician who has pulled a rabbit into a hat, she snapped her
elastic and announced that he could try his luck at spelunking
whenever he felt fit.
