There is a factory in America which makes the Tickle Me Elmo toys.
The toy laughs when you tickle it under the arm.
A new employee is hired at the Tickle Me Elmo factory and she
reports for her first day promptly at 0800. The next day at 0845 there
is a
knock at the Personnel Manager's door. The Foreman from the assembly
line throws
open the door and begins to rant about the new employee.
He complains that she is incredibly slow and the whole line is
backing up, putting the entire production line behind schedule. The
Personnel
Manager decides he should see this for himself so the 2 men march down
to
the factory floor.
When they get there the line is so backed up that there are Tickle
Me Elmo's all over the factory floor and they're really beginning to
pile up.
At the end of the line stands the new employee surrounded by mountains
of
Tickle Me Elmo's.
She has a roll of plush red fabric and a huge bag of small marbles.
The 2 men watch in amazement as she cuts a little piece of fabric,
wraps
it around two marbles and begins to carefully sew the little package
between
Elmo's legs.
The Personnel Manager bursts into laughter. After several minutes of
hysterics he pulls himself together and approaches the woman. "I'm
sorry," he says to her, barely able to keep a straight face, "but I
think
you misunderstood the instructions I gave you yesterday".
"Your job is to give Elmo two test tickles"
