Tickle me Elmo

[Boulder]

I don't remember if this one was posted or not, but here it goes...

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 see what the problem is.

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 stands Lena 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 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."
