    I remember reading this tip on removing extremely stubborn rings,
    apparently used by morticians:  take some sewing thread, and
    starting on the side toward the fingernail, feed one end of the
    thread under the ring (toward the wrist), just long enough to grasp.
    Now take the thread on the other side of the ring, and wind it around
    the finger, essentially wrapping the finger in thread, past the
    knuckle.  Then, take the loose end that you first threaded under the
    ring, and start unwrapping the finger.  The ring supposedly works its
    way over the thread, and over the knuckle with no problem. Another
    thing I've heard of as a ring removing lubricant is some extremely
    slippery stuff called Silk.  You find it in the pharmacy 
    by the "intimate" lubricants. Probably more effective than soap or oil.
