Queen Nefertiti: O, Ra, Almighty One, cast the light of thy magnificence on the face of thy servant, we beseech thee! Boopshepsut! Why do you not kneel in obedience to Ra, the giver of all life? Boopshepsut: I... I don't worship the sun anymore, Majesty. Queen Nefertiti: You what? Boopshepsut: Ra dries out the skin. Boopsie: Even then, I knew to take care of myself. B.D.: Boopsie, is your bathing suit too tight?

It isn’t the swimsuit that’s too tight. It’s the hat.

“Boopshepsut” – love it!

Yep, she knows how to take care of herself all right. Moments later the queen had her executed! On to the next life.

Worshiping Ra dried out their skin, so all the mommies looked like mummies.

Listen to Boopsie, she is correct and ahead of her time. We should thank the Aussies for the 1980s Slip-Slop-Slap campaign for skin cancer awareness. It is now: Slip on a shirt, Slop on the 30+ sunscreen, Slap on a hat, Seek shade or shelter, Slide on some sunnies. — “Slip, Slop, Slap, Seek, Slide” Recommended reading: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slip-Slop-Slap
