About Gertrude the Masseuse

Mr. Furley, who vacations at the ski lodge with Janet, Jack and Larry, happens to bump into the lodge masseuse Gertrude, a rather large, beefy woman who, at first sight, has the hots for him! Furley spends much of the time at the lodge trying to avoid her, but when she finally catches up with him, he spurns her amorous advances. Next thing you know, at episode's end, his back is twisted, as he walks in a bent position like a question mark, saying "the doctors said my back should be healed within a few weeks!"
