A woman desperately looking for work goes into a factory. The
Personnel Manager goes over her resume and explains to her that he
regrets he has nothing worthy of her. The woman answers that she
really needs work and will take almost anything. The Personnel
Manager hums and haws and finally says he does have a low skill job on
the “Tickle Me Elmo” line and nothing else. The woman happily accepts.
He takes her down to the line and explains her duties and that she
should be in for work at 8:00 AM the next day.

The next day at 8:45 there's a knock at the Personnel Manager's
door. The “Tickle Me Elmo” line manager comes in and starts ranting
about the woman just hired. After screaming for 15 minutes about how
badly backed up the assembly line is the Personnel Manager suggested
he show him the problem.

Together they head down to the line and sure enough Elmos are
backed up from here to kingdom come. Right at the end of the line is
the woman just hired—she has pulled over a roll of the material used
for the Elmos and has a big bag of marbles. They both watch as she
cuts a little piece of fabric and takes 2 marbles and starts sewing
them between Elmo's legs.

The Personnel Manager falls to the floor laughing and finally
after 20 minutes of rolling around he pulls himself together and walks
over to the new employee and says: “I'm sorry. I guess you
misunderstood me yesterday. What I wanted you to do was give Elmo two test tickles.”
