“Why are you scratching yourself?” “Because I’m the only one who knows where it itches.” You’re welcome.
¥es, It's worth a chuckle, Mr. K.
You could also respond, "My scratching saves me from this:
"Criminal Battery:" Although the statutes defining battery vary by jurisdiction, a typical definition for battery is the intentional unlawful touching of another person without their consent...." In public, keep your hands where they belong unless you need a cell to dwell and a meal that makes you yuck." You'll be sticking a finger down your throat. It's just not worth it!
That pesky itch where you only know to scratch is what makes you unique. Thank God for that. Otherwise we'd all be bleeding and tedious bores with perpetual moans. Let us revel in our itches and others judge.
Thank you very much. 😊 Your "Good Luck Club" is an excellent idea; don't be surprised if you start seeing people wandering around wearing clover leaf badges.
Garrison, I swear in my own mind we were kin in a prior life, and if not, we surely will be in the next! I am so in tune with the way you think. It's uncanny to me.
While my current life is meager, finance wise, I believe we share the same kindness of heart. I was leaving a mall, in my car and before entering the street, stopped for a red light. There was a lady standing there with a ' help me, please" type sign. I rolled down my window and told her I honestly had no change nor small bills. She thanked me, anyway for speaking to her and 'God blessed me. As I started to pull away I thought of the coin holder full of change and I stepped out and gave it to her and got a hug in return. We both shared a tear, with horns honking and people gesturing behind my car, except for one gentleman back there who gave me a thumbs up and had his hand out the window with a couple of bills in it. The incident made my day and I tear up again just thinking about it.
I must say that I, too, carry 4 or 5 fifties in my clip. Small enough to spend at a newstand yet large enough to make me feel like a happy man. Love you, G!
That club made a huge mistake, sir. You are an American original, someone who has steered our culture and who thinks outside the box. Their loss. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for that wonderful description of your interview. There are days like that. We've all been there. Groucho's response comes to mind, as a poster below has noted.
Thank you for giving that poor woman some help. You did the right thing, for the right reasons.
And thank you for the joke at the end. It made me laugh out loud (of course, I'm easily amused)
With all the crap posts about the world’s political situation and the people in it, reading stories like these remind me of Paul Harvey’s good news broadcasts. Thanks. I needed that.
Absolutely perfect for today. Thank you, Garrison. I miss riding the subway.
I hope members of that club read this column.

"I am earnestly hoping for memory loss" : ) That's how you know you're getting older, GK. And wiser.
It's the club committee that was dumb. Unbelievably dumb!
Can you share its name, that it may go down in infamy?
I think God just closed that door. You have such a rich life, and as a Christian you have access to everything you need.
Their loss ...is your gain
You are too good for their douche bag club
I love this. And I love the way you write. See? Conservatives and liberals can be friends. :)
You can take comfort, perhaps, from Groucho- he opined that he would not want to be a member of any club that would accept him as a member.
