There is a factory in which makes the Tickle Me Elmo toys
Monday, October 31st, 2005
The toy giggles and breaks into hysterics when its stomach is touched. 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 b egins to carefully sew the little package between Elmo’s legs.
The Personnel Manager bursts into laughter. After several minutes of uncontrollable hilarity 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.”
