SAGAL: Here is your next limerick.

KURTIS: Our offices look Kafkaesque, like rodents in cages, grotesque. I'm running in place, taking notes while I race, a hamster wheel's looped round my...

GRAHAM: Desk.

SAGAL: Yes, desk.

(SOUNDBITE OF BELL)

SAGAL: Do you want to stay fit and drive home the meaninglessness of your existence at the same time? Try the new human hamster wheel desk. It's designed by two San Francisco inventors who gave shape to their self-loathing by creating a giant hamster wheel you run on while working. And you say, well, great, but how do I get off it to go use the restroom or something? No worries. It comes with a space underneath to put old newspapers and sawdust.

SAGAL: I don't think it's actually one of those big plastic balls. That would be...

BODETT: No, that would be...

SAGAL: ...Hilarious.

BODETT: That would be great.

SAGAL: You know, you're in your office and these enormous plastic hamster balls with accountants inside them come coming by. Hey, Bob - bonk.

BODETT: That's a great idea though.

(LAUGHTER)
