A new employee is hired at the Tickle Me Elmo factory and she reports for her first day promptlyly at 8:00am.
The next day at 8:45 there is a knock at the personnel Manager's door.
The Foreman from the assembly line opens the door and begins to rant about the new employee.
He complains that she is incredibly slow and that the whole line is backing up, putting the entire plant behind schedule.
The Personnel Manager decides that he should see this for himself so the two men march down to the factory floor.
When they get there, the line is so backed up that there are Elmo's all over the floor, and they are really beginning to pile up. At the end of the line stands the new employee. She has a roll of red plush fabric and a big bag of marbles.
The two men watch in amazement as she cuts a little piece of fabric, wraps it around two marbles, and begins to 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 me yesterday. Your job is to give each Elmo two test tickles."
