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 aknock
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
behindschedule. 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
bymountains 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 togive Elmo two test tickles".
