DISCLAIMER** Please never do eye exercises while behind the wheel of a moving vehicle. People always talk about "don't drink and drive" and "don't text and drive". Not enough people mention how hard it is to drive when you're physically forcing exercise upon your eyes. Also, guys, lemme tell ya. You've never SEEN a meatloaf like the Beastloaf. The Grinch would look at his Roast Beast and think to himself "wow, I really pulled the short straw here, huh?"
