A new employee is hired at the Tickle Me Elmo factory and she reports for
her first day promptly at 8:00 a.m.
The next day at 8:45 a.m. 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 are 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."
