Sunscreen on a toothbrush?

Pretty sure you’re not doing it right.

I heard grandpa was losing his wits. The dentist was puzzled about the sudden gum line receding, until one day grandma caught him putting Preperation H on his toothbrush.

We can reasonably surmise that it ain't sunlight coming thought the windows whcih is causing it in Flight attendants. I would imagine that it's relatively rare for a flight attendant to be exposed to direct sunlight in flight.
