There is a factory in </span><span style="font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'"><span style="color: #c20000">Northern Minnesota</span><span style="color: #c20000"> which makes The Tickle Me Elmo toys. The toy laughs when you tickle it under the arms.
Well, </span><span style="color: #c20000">Lena</span><span style="color: #c20000"> is hired at The Tickle Me Elmo factory and she reports for her first day promptly at 8:00 AM.</span></span><span style="font-size: 18pt; color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'"> </span><span style="font-size: 18pt; color: #c20000; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'">
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.</span><span style="font-size: 18pt; color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'"> </span><span style="font-size: 18pt; color: #c20000; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'">
The Personnel Manager decides he should see this for himself, so the 2 men march down to the factory floor. When they get there the line is so backed up that there are Tickle Me Elmo's all over the factory floor and they're really beginning to pile up.
At the end of the line stands </span><span style="font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'"><span style="color: #c20000">Lena,</span><span style="color: #c20000"> surrounded by mountains of Tickle Me Elmo's. She has a roll of plush red fabric and a huge bag of small marbles.</span></span><span style="font-size: 18pt; color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'"> </span><span style="font-size: 18pt; color: #c20000; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'">
The 2 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.</span><span style="font-size: 18pt; color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'"> </span><span style="font-size: 18pt; color: #c20000; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'">
The Personnel Manager bursts into laughter. After several minutes of hysterics he pulls himself together and approaches </span><span style="font-size: 18pt; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'"><span style="color: #c20000">Lena</span><span style="color: #c20000">.
'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...'
