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 0800. The next day at 0845 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 Elmos 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 Elmos. 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."
