When I was 18 and my buddy was 17, we went to the beach. He wouldn't let me put sunscreen on his back because that would make him gay. What if a woman saw?

He ended up with a severly blistered back, horrible, serious burns.

Me, I went up to the cute girls and just said excuse me hehehe.... I can't reach my own back.

He was also too chickenshit to do that.

You should have suggested you put sunscreen on each other’s backs at the same time to get it over with quicker.

Good idea. Squirt some sunscreen on one back, then rub balls together until you're both covered.

Edit: I meant backs, not balls, but I'm leaving it.

Back to back. Back to back.

Doesn't have quite the same ring to it.....
