Too good not to share after a bad day. A woman desperately looking for work, goes to Mattel. 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 Personal 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 at 8:00am the next day. The next day at 8:45am there's a knock at the Personal 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 two marbles and starts sewing them between Elmo's legs. The personal manager starts laughing so hard he about kills himself. Finally after several minutes of rolling around in laughter he pulls himself together, 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."
