In this episode various household appliances have gone beserk, including the Mayor’s toaster. The toast is not, of course, real toast. It’s some plastic thing that looks like toast. In order to create the illusion that the toaster is flinging toast around the entire house, people stand outside camera range and throw these hard square pieces of plastic.
One of them went awry–no, it was not rye toast–and landed in my face. It smarts.

We had a for real toaster like that once. You had to be standing ready in the outfield to catch fly (no not rye) toast.
Aouch. You’re lucky it wasn’t real hot toast straight out of the toaster, but it still must hurt if they throw it like they’re flinging stuff.
I was in the cafeteria and someone was using the real toaster. The toast popped about half a meter up when it came out, so I must assume that they were just mimicking reality.
