Tickle Me Elmo
There is a factory in America which makes the Tickle Me Elmo toys; it
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".
