My dear and respected father, whose doctorate is in Social Research Psychology always says, "Everybody knows what BS is, MS means More of the Same, and PhD means Piled higher and Deeper.

"Stranger still, melanoma most commonly affects the hip, thighs and trunk, which are areas of the body protected from the sun."

Does this suggest that going around naked all & every day will make us immune?
