Happy Valentine’s Day from Nurse Ratched and McMurphy
The Cuckoo would have come home to roost if things were just a little different at the mental institution. You can thank Usher’s “Twork it Out” for bringing this wayward couple together. It was touch and go for a long time, but we all knew that this is how the story should have really turned…
