There is a factory in Northern Minnesota which makes the Tickle Me Elmo
toys. The toy laughs when you tickle it under the arms. Well, Lena is
hired at The Tickle Me Elmo factory and she reports for her first day
promptly at 8:00 AM. The next day at 8:45 AM there is a knock at the
Personnel Manager's door. The Foreman 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
Lena
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 Lena. "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.
