Of course, there's always the David Letterman solution:
(Remember kids: DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME! These stunts are performed by
trained professionals.)

	1. Make an EPROM suit. (i.e. glue 300 EPROMS to your favorite garment.)

	2. Wear the EPROM suit to your local tanning salon.

	3. Step into tanning booth.

	4. Cook until done.
