At work I use a stainless steel lobster fork (made in Japan) that a coworker brought me as a souvenir from New England. At home I use a letter opener. Ah bliss…
Nice. I have one of those and have been looking to buy a second one.
For about a year now, I’ve been using the antenna that broke off my boombox. I carefully bent a curve in it so I can reach below the shoulder blade but I can still retract it. The plastic tip has a slightly sharp edge that is just right for scratching. Ah, bliss!
Some years before this I used to use a T-square. It, too, had a slightly sharp edge on the T-bar thingy that was just right for scratching. Alas, I lost it somehow and haven’t found one that works as well since. But now I have my antenna so that’s OK.
That Old Back Scratcher, Allan Sherman
Sung to the tune of “That Old Black Magic”.
I have low self-esteem and endure an itchy back as punishment for my wicked thoughts.
Thanks so much for that, Senegoid! Loved that.
On the other hand, the eraser end of a pencil is the perfect tool for scratching between your toes. Fellow athletes’ foot-sufferers will understand.
My daughter got an alligator-hand back scratcher as a souvenir from the Arkansas Alligator Farm. It’s fantastic.
My best back scratcher is the towel that I dry off with after my shower.
Yes, sometimes I have to shift it around to get “that spot,” but I always get “that spot.”
I think that a four foot length of old-style hemp rope would work just the same.
I sometimes do that when I take my bra off at night. The elastic band on the bottom edge is just the right thing to relieve that itchy area between my shoulder blades.
My roommate uses the bristle toilet brush. Very alluring.
That will come in handy someday.
Its all fun and games until the dry cleaner can’t get the blood stains out of your shirt.
“These stains on the back won’t come out. You work in a bank or something…?”
Animal.
