    Hey Family Man,

    I got a unique sunburn this July 4th. In the morning while my 11 year old son was watching his morning TV and my 17 year old son was sleeping in as usual, I went out to the garden to do the weeding. I have learned over the years to work smarter, not harder. So the plant the rows about three to four feet apart and then I just go through with the roto tiller. Well after I do this, I usually pay the boys to get the weeds next to the plants, but I felt ambitious this time. So I decided to get the hoe and do it myself. It was a beautiful sunny day, so I would do two rows and then sit down in a chair and relax and drink some water. It took me about one hour, but I got the mission accomplished. Later that afternoon, I noticed that I felt a little uncomfortable at about my waistline on my back. I thought maybe I had abraded that area while weeding, so I went up stairs and checked out the area where the “sun don’t shine” in the mirror. Well, looking back at me in the mirror was a bright red “horizontal” smilely
    face just above the white “vertical” smilely face. I thought…what could a call this… a farmer’s sunburn…. No….. it’s a plumber’s sunburn…
