Boy: Another hot one. I'm going to have to put on sunscream. Miss Plainwell: Sun-scream? Boy: Tell me you don't call it that when you sweat it into your eyes.
IS there a correlation with heat and sunburn? Or is the correlation between wearing less clothing because it’s so hot? I spent a few tours during the oil wars and never wore sunscreen.
The correlation between heat and sunburn isn’t direct, but both are directly correlated to the strength of the sun. Two different effects from the same cause.
@Potrzebie: You must have been extraordinarily fortunate. I remember seeing pictures of our troops, at the beginning of the Iraq invasion, who were absolutely fried. They hadn’t been issued sunscreen. Mary Kay Cosmetics and other cosmetic companies shipped over massive amounts of sunscreen, free, to help. It seemed to me appallingly foolish on the part of our military not to have provided the protection, if only because a miserable, hurting soldier is not going to be at peak performance. And believe me, sun burn hurts!
Hot, in this case, relating to bright sunshine. Of course, it’s also very possible to burn through cloud cover, especially in dry climates and/or high altitude.

No, when SHE kept it in the cooler and squirts it on your back.

It has to be the choice of clothes. Heat doesn’t burn, the rays do.

LOL! We call it that, but that’s because the brand we buy sprays on cold. My kids love it!

Not to be confused with Starscream.

When you sweat it into your eyes, it’s called “Eye Scream”.(Can’t believe I scooped that one!)

I have it from years ago when Dilbert was new and clever. It’s “Backwards Bert” backwards.
