Tickle Me Elmo:

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 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 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.
