Working in an office full of different cultures, its inevitable that the occasional "do you have this in your country" comes up in a discussion.
Today's discussion is about backscratching. (Don't ask! it just happened)
Being totally inspired, I did a search on the internet to see the various types of backscratchers available, and decided to share my findings.
(Btw. if anyone knows the people at blogger, can you tell them that their HTML formatter sucks? I looked at the automatic generated code and nearly fainted)

Futuristic version
(from amazon) Made of steel. For the extra "hard-to-rid" (ultra-strength) itch that is more than skin deep. And its telescopic (if you look carefully).
For those precise itches that can be pin-pointed
The "back scratcher" shirt. Useful for people who have others to help them. Helps the mind to develop geographic and dimensional skills too. Might help in battleships..
The Traditional Solution
The "shirtless, but cheap" option. This solution runs on cereal and maybe some candy, and is traditionally endorsed by generations of ancestors from every culture. May have some unintended consequences from using untrained labour. (drool, baby food, etc)
Demo: usage of the standard backscratcher
Usage of the backscratcher demonstrated. (standard model). Beware. Other models may vary in usage methodology.
Futuristic version
If electronic toothbrushes are better than the regular version, what about a battery operated version? (see? A different model does have different operating instructions).
I wonder what happens when you run out of batts and you're in desperate need for a scratch..
Different strokes for different folks
Differing sizes. For the various degrees of itch, obviously.
The how-to for the futuristic version (engineering skills required)
For those days when you are stranded on a deserted island and need to construct your own telescopic-extendable backscratchers. For the engineering inclined, obviously.
Other variations
Various "ends" types of backscratchers. Note: DO NOT, i repeat, DO NOT use any backscratchers if it has black "finger nails". Its probably poisoned.
Quality of backscratchers?
Found this pic on ebay. The claims are.. extraordinary..
Last but not least...
The student edition. Useful for scratching backs, heads, faces.. And can be used for writing.
