Admit it, Rodney, you deliberately forgot the sunscreen.

Wonder if anyone will be a cellmate with Spook for this.

So, why’s he screaming? I’ve never used any sunscreen ever, beaches or otherwise.

I remember a time back in the 1980s when my DDG made a port visit to Montego Bay, Jamaica. We were a bunch of suntanned sailors from sailing around the Caribbean. Also we were moored near a resort that had a nude beach. After a port visit of about a week in length, we left to do more navy stuff in the Caribbean. But what I remember is that approximately five or so sailors had to eat their meals standing up. For some reason these suntanned sailors didn’t want to sit down. (I don’t know why :-))

All that time at the beach and they’re still pale? Especially if they didn’t use sunscreen?

The only part of Fink’s body that could possibly sun burn would be his nose.

That’s ‘sunscream’.

Bring on the Royal Apothecary. I sense a need for aloe vera and cucumbers. A bit of rum would not go amiss either.

Keep your sunburn aloe ointment in the refrigerator. It will feel really good and cold when you put it on a sunburn.

Burrrnnnnn, Fink!

But the skin is mostly sterile…for a few minutes at least.
