Kid: So tanning ages the skin! Are there other reasons to stay out of the sun? Zonker: There sure are, Tommy, lots of 'em! To begin with, today's chicks no longer go for guys with tans.

For anyone living in South Florida or other parts of the world where shorts and flip-flops are the uniform of the day, you do develop strange stripes of pale skin on the tops of your feet.
When I used to officiate soccer, I developed referee’s knees, – a tan that extended from the bottom of my uniform shorts to the top of my calf length socks.

Even Worse. Overexposure to the Sun can cause you to grow up to be a John Boehner or a Donald T-Rump..

A friend of mine (an older gentleman) was a bagpiper in a traditional drum and pipe corp. One year the corp went to Florida for a compatition. The corp was so traditional that their uniforms included kilts with nothing underneath. What no one considered was that since the compatition took place next to the water the sun was reflecting off the water and under their kilts and giving all of them sunburns on their inner thighs.
