*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 severa l 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.*
