Dedicated Employee

A new employee is hired at the Tickle Me Elmo factory. The personnel
manager explains her duties, and tells her to report to work promptly at
8:00 AM. The next day at 8:45 AM, there's a knock at the personnel
manager's door. The assembly line foreman comes in and starts ranting
about this new employee. He says she's incredibly slow, and the whole
line is backing up.

The foreman takes the personnel manager down to the factory floor to
show him the problem. Sure enough, Elmos are backed up all over the
place. At the end of the line is the new employee. She has a roll of the
material used for the Elmos and a big bag of marbles. They both watch as
she cuts a little piece of fabric, wraps it around two marbles and
starts sewing the little package between Elmo's legs.

The personnel manager starts laughing hysterically. After several
minutes, he pulls himself together, walks over to the woman, and says,
"I'm sorry, I guess you misunderstood me yesterday. Your job is to give
Elmo two test tickles.
