Don't Let Englishmen Out in the Noonday Sun

England has been so buggered with BREXIT that maybe these two just didn't hear in, well, the last forty or fifty years that this really is not such a good idea.

Florence Nightingale is giving the medical advice on sunscreen but her expertise is clear when she is already burned.  It's England so maybe she read about the sun in a book or some such while it was raining.  Sam the Sham thinks the sunscreen is going to help but he will be sleeping on his back for the next few weeks ... and he will snore ... loudly.

When Richard Pryor says white people are crazy, what should I tell him?


Ed:   so we can't go to the beach anymore in the hard-ass Rockhouse world?

You don't swim with sharks and you don't bake in the sun like a shrimp on the barbie but otherwise do whatever the hell you want on the beach.   Whether you're baking in the sun or shaking with sharks, you're going to get hurt either way.  Maybe best to omit such things from the holiday plans.

You know the pain that old tomato has coming and we would save him if we could.  Heya, Old Tomato Guy, this is really going to fucking hurt, man.  He can't hear us, tho.  Tomato Woman is going to hurt too since her arms are only just starting to get red.

Englishers in the sun ... bad idea.

Swimming with sharks is just fine. But just in case don't be the slowest or weakest swimmer

That's the same principle as hiking in Bear Country since it's not important to be faster than the bear but it's very important to be faster than your friends.
