There is a factory in North Minnesota which makes th

Well, Lena is hired at The Tickle Me Elmo factory an

The next day at 8:45am there is a knock at th
e Personnel Manager’s door. The Foreman throws open th
e door an' begins t
o rant about th
e new employee,
H
e complains TH
at she is incredibly slow an
d th

The personnel manage
r decides he should see thi

o th
e factory floor.
When they get there, th' line is so backed up wot there are Tickle Me Elmo’s all ov

“I’m sorry, “he says t
