Surrounded by Gnomes

The 'Healing Hand Cream' lady was trying to get my attention, but so were the gnomes. There seemed to be thousands of them, but I'm sure there were only 900 or so. They all reminded me of the Travelocity gnome, beckoning me to a warm vacation, filled with sun, surf and Vitamin D. I was not sure if it was a good idea, but I turned my back to the gnomes. My 'itch' ruled the moment and I turned fully to the promise of healing cream for my woes. So convincing was she, that I yanked out the credit card and told her to 'lay it on me'. Actually, she applied the magic potion to my gardener wife's rough hands, but all the while, again standing on one leg, I was only thinking of slathering it on my 'itch'.
