The Eternal Itch

I have a spot on my back, just below my left shoulder blade--just out of reach--that constantly itches. Constantly. I mean, we're talking at least three years of an almost constant itch. I have tried to devise ways to reach the itch to scratch it, but it continues to itch. I'm sure my boss is laughing at me during the day, watching me on the video monitors scratch my itch like a big bear on the corner of a doorway. And it is starting to get really quite uncomfortable. I'm sitting on the bench coaching a game, and all I can think about is my itch and how I can't scratch it. I try rubbing it on the bench, which doubly makes me look like a fool, and I still can't get the itch scratched. Is God upstairs laughing at me day in day out, watching me trying to scratch my itch?
