A new employee is hired at the Tickle Me
Elmo factory. The personnel manager
explains her duties, and tells her to report
to work promptly at 8:00 AM.

The next day at 8:45 AM, there's a knock
at the personnel manager's door. The
assembly line foreman comes in and starts
ranting about this new employee.

He says she's incredibly slow, and the
whole line is backing up. The foreman
takes the personnel manager down to the
factory floor to show him the problem.

Sure enough, Elmos are backed up all
over the place. At the end of the line is the
new employee. She has a roll of the
material used for the Elmos and a big bag
of marbles. They both watch as she cuts
a little piece of fabric, wraps it around
two marbles, and starts sewing the little
package between Elmo's legs.

The personnel manager starts laughing
hysterically. After several minutes he
pulls himself together, walks over to the
woman, and says "I'm sorry, I guess you
misunderstood me yesterday. Your job
is to give Elmo two test tickles."
