New Employee
There is a factory which makes the Tickle Me Elmo toys. The toy laughs when you tickle it under the arm. A new employee is hired at the Tickle Me Elmo factory and she reports for her first day promptly at 0800. The next day at 0845, there is a knock at the Personnel Manager's door. The foreman from the assembly line 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 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 all over the factory floor and they're really beginning to pile up. At the end of the line is the new employee 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 the two marbles and begins to carefully sew the little packages between Elmo's legs. The Personnel Manager burst 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 may have misunderstood the instructions I gave you yesterday".
