Tickle Me Elmo:
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 stood Lena
surrounded by mountains of Tickle Me Elmo's.
She had a roll of plush red fabric and a
huge bag of small marbles. The 2 men watched in amazement as she cut a little
piece of fabric, wrapped it around two marbles and began to carefully sew the
little package between Elmo's legs.
The Personnel Manager burst into
Laughter.
After several minutes of hysterics he
pulled himself together and approached Lena 'I'm sorry,' he said to her, barely
able to keep a straight face, 'but I think you misunderstood the instructions I
gave you yesterday...ā€¯Your job is to give Elmo two test tickles.ā€¯
