When I had a staff photography positon we worked at least a couple hourse 
everyday in the darkroom. .Every now and then someone would drop a 35mm 
reel. When when one was sprung so that it was difficult to use again 
(usually the case), we would take it to the parking lot (empty in the 
evening) and throw it far into the air. Reels behave in a chaotic way when

they land. Sometimes one would bounce back at us in the freakiest of
angles 
and a crisis if one vectored to your eye. I guess that's why god gave us
two 
eyes, and photographers need only one, and no brain at tall.
