The worst itch...


...is an ankle itch, apparently. Well, it's the "most satisfying to scratch". And this comes from an expert; a Professor from the International Forum for The Study of Itch, no less.

It's good to know that in these hard times, there are still people beavering away doing invaluable research into major problems like this, isn't it? Makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

  5. I have to agree with those scientific findings - after having an ankle itch the other evening.

  6. What makes me warm and fuzzy inside? Easy, whiskey. Inside and outside.

    The worst itch... I ain't going there, but I'm pretty sure I ain't the only one who didn't think the answer was ankle.

  7. Surely it would be far worse to have an itch that couldn't be satisfactorily scratched?

  8. I'm glad we're all agreed that this was essental, valuable research, and (our, probably) money well spent.

    Mr. V - no dirty talk here, please.
