My OperaTickle Me Elmo
Thursday, August 10, 2006 1:00:04 AM
There is a factory in Northern Minnesota which makes theTickle Me Elmos toys.
The toy laughs when you tickle it under the arms.
Well, Lena is hired at The Tickle Me Elmo factory and she reports 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 two men march down
to the factory floor. When they get there the line is so backed up that there are Tickle
Me Elmos allover the factory floor and they're really beginning to pile up. At the
end of the line stands Lena surrounded by mountains of Tickle Me Elmos. She has a roll
of plush red fabric and a huge bag of small marbles. The two 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 Lena. 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."
