Tickle-me-Elmo

There is a factory in America which makes Tickle-me-Elmo toys.

The toy laughs when you tickle it under the arm. A new employee is hired at the factory and she reports for her first day at 0800.

The next day at 0845 there is a knock at the Personnel Managers door.

The foreman of the assembly line throws open the door and begins to rant and rave 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 and they are really piled 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 small piece of fabric wraps it around two marbles and begins to carefully sew the little package between Elmo's legs.

The personnel Manager burst 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'."
