Subject: Tickle-Me-Elmo

There is a factory in America which makes the Tickle Me Elmo toys. The

toy laughs when you tickle it under the arms.

A new employee was hired at the Tickle Me Elmo factory. She reported

for her first day promptly at 0800hrs. The next day at 0845hrs, 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 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 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
