In a ConfessionCam, he says his running speed is "between a snake and a mongoose", implying he attempted to pit the mongoose against the snake, but they both ended up just chasing him (and the mongoose caught him).

* NeverMyFault: This aspect of Michael's personality rears its ugly head again when Tony quits and says in no uncertain terms that it's because he deal with Michael's antics. This results in Michael ranting that Dunder Mifflin doesn't hire quitters and firing Tony in a pathetic attempt to save face, since letting him quit would mean admitting it ''is'' his fault and that he isn't the awesome boss he thinks he is.
