Sun Burns Are Nothing to Laugh at...

But the lines it leaves behind are. My Wife got sunburned pretty bad on Saturday. What makes this even more spectacular is that I (who can get a sunburn in the dead of night!), did not get sunburned. Mostly due to the three layers of SPF 50 I applied. I wanted to take a picture of her sunburn but her reception of my request was surprisingly very negative. I upped the ante and offered to do the dishes in turn for the picture. This offer was so poorly received that I ended up doing the dishes anyways. So instead I give you the picture below. Disturbing? Yes. Do I chuckle a little bit when I look at it? You betcha! Three reasons...

1. Was there anybody in this Woman's life who saw what was going on and tried to help her. I can't help but wonder if they have interventions for this sort of thing. This isn't something that happens over night. There are warning signs like applying SPF 4, or taking a vacation to Alaska in the winter and returning with a tan.

2. This picture shows that the best sunscreen protection available is clothes. If you want to take this image a step further I'm willing to bet that woman doesn't have a tan line on her which means it is more than likely some people have seen that walking around a beach naked. YUCK!

3. It would be interesting to see if you could make a wallet or maybe even some boots out of that skin. That was very "Buffalo Bill" of me but seriously It puts the lotion on its skin...please
