\*There is a factory in America which makes the Tickle Me Elmo toys.  
The toy laughs when you tickle it under the arm.

A new employee is hired at the Tickle Me Elmo factory and she reports  
for her first day promptly at 08.00.

The next day at 0845 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 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 stands the new employee 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 the woman.

“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”.
