I used to have a bumper sticker on my truck which said "Stupidity should be painful." I had many other interesting stickers, including a series of bullet holes down the side of the truck. It looked very convincing, and drew stares on the highway. Or maybe they were just staring at me because I was trying to run them off the road. Hmm.
Anyway.
Stupidity IS painful, I can attest. Because I fell asleep at the beach yesterday after resisting my darling wife's suggestions that I oil up. My tan is uneven because I usually wear a shirt, even when working in the yard. I wanted to even it up.
Nope. Now all of my un-tanned skin is a flaming red (so I am told). And it hurts. A lot.
And I have only my own stupidity to blame. ;-)
About Me
- Marvin the Martian
- I am an alien here on this little planet. I've been sent to learn about life here, to observe people and things around me, and to become a better entity by applying the lessons that I learn here. I've chosen the name "Marvin the Martian" because he is familiar to many, and the Martian mindset isn't expected to be similar to a human's. Thank you for stopping by to read this little blog. I hope you'll come back.

Ouchy, that's happened to me before, I try to be careful now!
as a Martian invader you should of realized that Earth is much closer to the Sun than Mars and our Sunshine is much more powerful here...do Martians peel?.....
...haha.....
On the bright side, you get the fun of peeling skin. I'm almost jealous!
Oh dear...I laught only 'cause I've been there.
So what did we learn here? I think it's...always listen to your wife :)
LOL Lara - I love to do that too - that was the favorite part of my tattoo! LOL
Yeah - I've been there before - 4 years of living in sunless Germany, and we came back to TX for 30 days...Went to a water park...Yeah... Lobster, blisters, and peeling galore...Not so much fun...
Lol, I love the bullet hole sticker, should always oil up here on Earth being closer to the Sun and all.
That sucks! I doubt that you were stupid; maybe careless.
I can't relate to you because I am olive skinned and we never burn ALhamdulillah :P (THANK GOD). Describe the pain - as they say on ER.
Next time do as your wife says! :p
Oooo! I bet that's pretty! LOL I hope you feel better though. :-(
