I was sitting casually in my office having a perfectly normal conversation about sky diving, wet bulb devices and the evils of cheese on one's digestive tract when the following exchange took place:
Me: (scratching an itch on my head) OW!
Boss: What's wrong?
Me: That hurts.
Boss: What hurts?
Me: My head.
Boss: You have a headache?
Me: No. (I remove my little cotton chemo hat)
Boss: OW!
Me: What?
Boss: Get a little SUN today?
Me: Yeah, five minutes - why?
Boss: Your scalp is a tomato.

Five. Minutes.
Think about places on your body that have never seen the sun before and then imagine you'd accidentally burned them to a crisp in five minutes.
It's like somebody up in the sky was playing with a magnifying glass and my glowing white scalp was the allegorical bug.

Ouch! Sounds painfully. But it is understandably how it would burn so quickly
