Whenever something like that comes up(and it does), my Dad would always say, " Boy...do you need a plexiotomy?" I said NO!

A "plexiotomy" is where you get a piece of plexiglass surgically implanted in your abdominal area. Then when you have your head up your rear, you can see where you are going!

I need one of those! But, I think it would be sort of looking through a fun house mirror once you got the plexiglass bulged out to match my ever expanding mid section.....lol
