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
factory and starts 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 a
blonde female employee that they just hired. 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".
