Two men are arguing with each other. One of them is standing up but still in bed with his suit and briefcase.
It is odd for someone to still be in bed while standing up ready for work.
Why is the man still in bed?
And where was the outrage over Alan's standing desk?

The man has designed a "sleeping desk", which allows him to sleep at work --- he makes the comparison to a standing desk, claiming that if a standing desk is allowed, so should his sleeping desk. The boss is unhappy because, unlike with standing, if one is sleeping they are unconscious and unable to do work. It's funny because it's a clever way of trying to get out of doing work.
