A woman desperately looking for
work goes into the Irwin Toy Co.
The personnel manager goes
over her resume & explains to her that he regrets
he has nothing for her.
The woman answers that she really needs
work & will take anything.
The personnel manager hums & haws & finally
says he does have a
low skill job on the "Tickle
Me Elmo" line but nothing else.
The woman happily accepts. He takes her
down to the line & explains her duties
& that she should be in for 8:00 a.m.
the next morning.
The next day at 8:45 a.m there's
a knock on the personnel managers door.
The Tickle Me Elmo line manager
comes in & starts ranting about the woman just hired.
After screaming for 15 minutes about how
badly backed up the assembly line is,
the personnel manager suggests he show him
the problem.
Together they head
down to the line & sure enough, Elmos were 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 material used
for the Elmos & has a bag of marbles.
They both watch as she cuts a little piece
of fabric & takes 2 marbles
& starts sewing them between
Elmos legs.
The personnel manager starts laughing,
finally after 20 minutes of rolling around,
he pulls himself together & walks over
to the new employee & says:
"I'm sorry you misunderstood me yesterday,
what I wanted you to do was give
Elmo two test tickles"............
