When he's underwater does he get wet or does the water get him instead?

I really need to start documenting 'insane client requests' better because we get the best ones.

While the AV guy was aiming the podium lights the client gets up onstage and stands there with hands shading eyes, then gets down and looks at the stage, confirms that the stage is dark (very dark, which it has to be because they have their screen right next to it and a weak little projector because they didn't want to pay for the big suckers) and then gets back up again, shading eyes.

Comes down to the av guy and asks
'Isn't there a way to light them without blinding them? The light is right in the faces. Does it have to shine right in their eyes?'
Which, of course, it must TO SEE THEIR EYES. The lights are properly hung for stage lighting, high in the air and to the right angles, but people just don't understand what stage lighting feels like think that we can solve that by creating a new kind of light that is only visible from the audience or some equally effective solution that would require a complete violation of the laws of physics but thay always ask indignantly as if we should have already thought of it and just simply forgot.

But since they didn't want to spring for better projectors I don't think they want to see our rates for shattering Newton's laws.
