Paper Toss
Have you ever been bored at work, crumpled up a piece of paper and counted how many times you can make it in a small trash can?

Have you ever brought in electric fans to make the shot even harder?
This game is oddly satisfying . . . much like tossing a real ball of crumpled paper into a metal trash basket. So realistic, you will think you are stuck in an office killing time.
