There is a factory in Northern Minnesota which makes the Tickle Me Elmo toys.
The toy laughs when you tickle it under the arm or touch its sides or belly.
Well Lena 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 Assembly Line 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. 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 Elmos all over the factory floor and they're
really beginning to pile up.
At the end of the line stands Lena
surrounded by mountains of Tickle Me Elmos.
She has a roll of plush red
fabric and a huge bag of small marbles. 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.
The Personnel
Manager bursts into laughter. After several minutes of hysterics he pulls
himself together and approaches Lena.
"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........
"Your job is to give Elmo two
test tickles".
Anyone who has had a loved one in the hospital will enjoy this.
A woman called a local hospital:
"Hello. Could you connect me to the
person who gives information about patients? I'd like to find out if a
patient is getting better, doing as expected or getting worse."
The voice on the other end said "What is the patients name and room number?"
"Sarah Finkel, Room 302."
"I'll connect you to the nursing station".
"Third floor nursing station. How can I help you?"
"I'd like to know the condition of Sarah Finkel in Room 302."
"Just a moment. Let me look at her records. Mrs. Finkel is very well.
In fact she had two full meals, her blood pressure is fine.
She is to be taken off the heart monitor in a couple of hours, and
if she continues this improvement, Dr Cohen is going to send her
home on Tuesday."
The woman said, "What a relief! Oh, that's fantastic! That's wonderful news!"
The nurse said, "From your enthusiasm, I take it you are a family member or a very close friend?"
"Neither. I'm Sarah Finkel in Room 302. Nobody tells me shit."
