Haha, Jason Segel is hilarious. In this episode of How I Met Your Mother Segel's character Marshall has an interesting addiction that I think many FD readers can relate to.

I need a chart.

This is so great! I only wish my graphics department was that forgiving. I can think of a few double-y-axis-with-bar-charts that I’d totally like to spring on friends.

Too bad this is not available internationally… I got the annoying message “This video is not available in your country due to copyright restrictions.”
