When our marketing lady used to bring visitors into the Imax booth she used to introduce me in the following way

"This is Dick,Head of Projection. He has the biggest projection in Britain and it goes in sideways"

How does a female choose the best projectionist? If he unzips his pants and
pulls out his Super Simplex.

some projectionists do it 40 times a night.
projectionists like double features.
projectionists are good with thier hands.

why couldn't the film run? it was caught in the film trap.

why did the projectionist go to emerald city?
to ask the wizard for a brain.

I happened to have my digital camera with me the other day at work...

While walking down the hallway to the booth, past the stockroom, then the office of the director of operations, and finally the 'junk' storage room...
I stopped in my tracks, then took a few steps back, with my camera ready, I reached in, and clicked on the light...

Here's what I saw...
