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 Manage r'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".
If you don't send this to five friends right
away, there will be five fewer people laughing in the world!
