Not to mention that you could also be running with it, trip, and poke
yourself in the eye. Its all fun and games until somebody loses an eye.
I played next to a similar "gizmo" in high school who hurt my lip sometimes.
Her name was Ann and she would zone out quite frequently during rehearsals.
Then when I would play an entrance, she'd startle and jerk her horn up into
position, usually elbowing my bell. I developed this nervous habit of
twisting slightly to my left before entrances.
