Every now and then I get an itch in the most inaccessible places on my back. It drives me crazy! I was at a church social the other day (my sisters, the trolls, dragged me kicking and screaming, so in a fit of passive agression I refused to wear my dentures.

But I digress.

I got an itch and couldn't get to it so I walked over to the little altar they got there and turned my back to it and scratched away. All the sudden the place went silent. Everybody was looking at me like I'd killed Jesus or something. I just kept scratching.

I told my sisters that I itched.

Was I justified in scratching. Would you have used the altar if nothing else was available and high enough?

Thank God it was only your back that itched!

Not that you WANT TO KNOW, but I can reach the other areas.

FD, maybe a wash now and then would help!

Agreed. I've upped bathing by approximately 34% alreaddy.

Aye there's the rub

Skoob's not quite correct.

Hamlet, Shakespeare... yes, but the 'rub' is at The Old Vick.
