Life is about the simple pleasures. If you can obtain these simple pleasures and not spend a lot of money in the process, then that’s even better! So allow me to pass on this simple pleasure on to you.

I have found the world’s best back scratcher! No kidding! Now before you think I’ve lost my mind, let me explain. I don’t know if it’s because it’s winter and my skin is drier than normal, but my back tends to get itchy this time of year. Normally, I ask Debbie to scratch my itch, (no, that’s not a euphemism for you know what), but she can’t always be there to rescue me from my itchy dilemma. That’s where this back scratcher comes in. What’s awesome about this back scratcher is that it’s retractable! There is no itchy spot it can’t reach. The best part is that it only cost $5.99 plus tax at Bed Bath and Beyond! I was so happy with it that I bought one for the house and one for my car, for those pesky itchy moments that arise while you’re driving.

I’m so happy with this product, I’d do an info-mercial for them! “Hi, I’m Randy Hoag for the Scratch Mate”!!! (I know, don’t quit my day job, but I don’t even have a day job right now)! So if you see a guy driving down the road with a retractable metal back scratcher down the back of his shirt, with a goofy grin on his face, it’s me. I just hope Governor Arnold doesn’t pass a law making it illegal to scratch and drive at the same time. Hands free back scratchers……………………….naw.
