Beat around the bush 

When you have such copious amounts of pubic hair, that you have to reach around your bush to pull your monkey, causing an inconvenient delay.

Big Easy: No I literally have to beat around my bush. I got more hair down there than Rapunzel.

Tyrant: Sounds like a hairy situation.
