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 stood Lena surrounded by mountains of Tickle Me
> Elmo's. She had a roll of plush red fabric and a huge bag of small
> marbles.
>
> The 2 men watched in amazement as she cut a little piece of fabric,
> wrapped it around two marbles and began to carefully sew the little
> package between Elmo's legs.
>
> The Personnel Manager burst into laughter. After several minutes of
> hysterics he pulled himself together and approached Lena.
>
> "I'm sorry," he said 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."
