By no means
Hello!
Phrase from the new episode of How I Met Your Mother:
PJ's gonna be getting a very confusing card in the mail, along with a garment
that he should by no means wear for three days and then mail back to me.
Does it mean: a garment he shouldn't wear for three days?
And I have another question from the same episode.
Barney and Marshall are trying to figure out a thing that will help Marshall not to lose his job, to be less expendable:
- Hey, Barney.I thought of a "thing" to make me more essential here.
I'm Eco Guy, 'cause everybody loves a guy who recycles, right?
- Fired. What else you got?
- I thought of a few others: Wacky Tie Guy.
- Fired.
- Daily Fun Fact Guy?
- Did you know that you're fired?
- Know a Good Stretch for That Guy?
- Downward-facing fired.
What does the word "stretch" mean in this sentence? Is it like muscle stretching?
Thank you a lot!

Edit. I just remembered something I read which might relate to your first excerpt.
I think some girls make a mail-order business out of sending you their soiled undergarments.
