Of course, Toby ended up with a paper airplane injury to his eye, which could give rise to a workers' compensation claim — even though he wasn't actually working when he incurred the injury — if he can prove that he was injured while participating in an activity that his employer made mandatory. Of course, he's a bit culpable too, wandering across the "playing field" while Pam was throwing her airplane. Cue the collective "Tobyyyyyyy" groan.
