Of course, "you can't guarantee that a worker doesn't go out for a walk instead," he added, which is a very good point.

Maybe companies can send workers home with some sexy Swedish stuff to ensure an acceptable level of copulation: easily breakable furniture, pickled herring, and, of course, Eagle-Eye Cherry's 1997 pop-rock sensation "Save Tonight."
