Fun Summer Recipe: Neapolitan Sunburn

Ingredients:

1 pasty pale arm
1 tube sunblock
2 shirts with different sleeve lengths
2 weekend outings

Method:

1.) Wear the shirt with the longer sleeve and take the pasty pale arm out into the sun.
2.) Let the arm get good and sunburned.
3.) Wait two weeks till the burn fades to a righteous farmer's tan.
4.) Wear the other shirt with the shorter sleeve.
5.) Decide to avoid a second sunburn and rub the sunblock on the farmer's tan arm up to the point where the tan stops and the pasty pale skin starts.
6.) Rub sunblock over a random blotchy piece of pasty skin.
7.) Let the arm get good and sunburned again.




Voila! Neapolitan Sunburn!





Here's a better view. The straight line marks the end of the tan and the beginning of the sunburn. The circle indicates the funny blotch of pasty pale skin that didn't get burned. The photo just doesn't do it justice. In real life, it was much more dramatic.



Moral of the story: Pay attention to your sunblock application.
