Ask how you see what is on the otherside of a glass wall.

Geez, I'm blonde too and even I know you may not be able to walk around it. Since glass is a liquid, you just poke a hole in it and it drains away. The real problem is finding a big enough bucket.

Not to worry, liquids take the shape of their container, so the glass will fill in the hole. :-p

Well someone around here needs to set a good example. But, good dear wolram, do not, as some ungracious pastors do, show me the steep and thorny way to heaven, whiles, like a puff’d and reckless libertine, himself the primrose path of dalliance treads, and recks not his own rede. (That would include references to butts, wicked or otherwise. :-p )
