Help a Dane with Avoiding Skin Cancer

There is a plea to the French which comes from Denmark in which a choir of sunburned souls asks for help in preventing the annual Summer ritual in which Danes go on holiday and get sun-fried to their tonsils when they go to France.



Note:  be sure to turn on subtitles to get the translation from French.  Yes, it's worth it.


This is an opportunity to roll Silas Skin Cancer Lesson #386 and check out this beauty.


Yah, and that's just a little one (larfs).


Over last Summer they chopped me to their great delight multiple times and this one was only a biopsy but I bitched for some while on Ithaka because it took so damn long to heal.  Posting at the time would have just been excessive gore but you see now the problem since the skin didn't exist after the biopsy so it had to recover the area coming in from the sides.  This is actually much more of a bitch than removing a cancer of which there were many and larger since incisions heal much faster.

Note:  none of that part of me has seen sun in years (deliberately) and that color is baked into me.

There is zero lament since it's just a hassle and doesn't seem likely to whack me although the probability is far higher than it would have been if I had been a tiny bit careful about it.  I never used a sunscreen as in not ever.

If you remember God hates white people, that should stand you in good stead and keep you out of the dermatologist's office.  I am not exaggerating in a tiny way since skin cancer statistics for white people are substantially higher than for people with any pigment in their skin.
