It's a measure of Ian's talent as a humorist that he can get laughs out of a subject as mundane as a study of the effects desks have on our health. This is a commentary virtually everyone who works behind a desk can appreciate. He also has performed a service by lampooning scientific studies filled with jargon and an absurd seriousness that people often accept as given--- until someone like Ian prompts us to consider them from a different perspective. Added to all of that is a pretty funny exit line.
