There is a factory 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 08.00.
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".
