A new employee 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 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 plant behind
schedule.
The Personnel Manager decides that he should see this for himself so the
two men march down to the factory floor. When they get there the line is
so backed up that there are Elmos all over the floor and they're really
beginning to pile up. At the end of the line stands the new employee. She
has a roll of red plush fabric and a big bag of marbles.
The men watch in amazement as she cuts a little piece of fabric, wraps it
around two marbles and begins to 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 me yesterday.
Your job is to give each Elmo two test tickles."
