Did you ever have an itch . . . . . . . that felt so good when you scratched it . . . . . . that you really didn't mind the itch?

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh that feels so good.

And did you ever notice how weirded out women get when you scratch something that's itching in public????? I tell her - everybody has an itch once in a while . . . . men just go ahead and scratch, and enjoy it. Women are frustrated itchers. My wife will walk the entire length of a Wal-Mart,just to get to the rest room to scratch. Me, I say just go for it.

Some people say "Scratch where it itches if it is in your britches." But women really get weirded out if you do this kind of itching in public. It can be really funny to watch a sophisticated lady try to relieve a "personal" itch in public while trying to disguise the fact she's scratching. Usually their face will give them away . . . . have you noticed that few people can scratch a hard-to-reach itch without making a funny face?

And why, when you get an itch inside your nose, does it make your eyes water? And how come your nose always begins to itch just as soon as you get both hands full?

I'm convinced that suppressing a scratch when something's itching is bad for your health.

Sometimes there isn't anything better than a good satisfying scratch. And I don't care who's looking, if it's itching, I'm scratching.

That's reminds me of what my grandfather would say about putting lotion on a bug bite...

He said you never want to use calamine on any itch. I asked why... He said..."It feels to good to scratch it."

He was right, it did feel good to scratch.

It's ITCHY and SCRATCHY.

It's a cartoon on a cartoon. The Simpson's cartoon has a cartoon called The Itchy and Scratchy show. They play it on the Krusty the Klown show.

When I was in the fifth grade, I watched Joseph Gagliardo scratch his butt for a full hour with the edge of his desk seat.

He was discrete at first by anxiously raising his hand & bouncing off the chair every time Sister Maryann asked a question. Didn't matter if he knew the answer or not.

By the end of the period he was riding his desk side- saddle.

Thank you for allowing me to share a memory that has tormented me since childhood.

Tuck, that's because the places on a woman that itch like that we would be arrested if we scratched in public.
