No kidding Jerry. If you be real quiet, kind of like an Indian, and you catch the bull while he is eating , just slip under him grab him by the penis and hold on. Now while he is standing real still just slip his sheath past the hair ring and take your other hand ....be sure before you start that the lense cap is off... I guess you're out of hands so get your son to take that hair ring in his hand and slip your pocket knife between the hair ring and profuse. Now turn the knife blade up toward the hair ring and just start sawing that tough ring off with that old case. Viola! no more hair ring. Sounds real logical to me. Let us know. Do you have any insurance Jerry???No not that kind ....Life insurance.
