The only *new* (and good) joke I've seen in almost a week was one which played off the differences between Czech and Polish (more than half of the time, the two languages are similiar enough for us to communicate. But, when they diverge, the results can be hillarious), so I could forward it only to my Polish recipients; the rest have all been "revived", and the following is one of them. OTOH... It's still funny and, perhaps, we have enough newbies on the list to merit posting it again. And, of course, some of you may have Elmo on your shopping list, which would make it appropriate... <g>
From: R.P.
A blonde is hired at the Tickle Me Elmo factory and she reports for her
first day promptly at 8:00 am. At 8:45 am, the assembly line foreman throws
open the door of the personnel office and begins to rant about the new
employee. He complains that she is incredibly slow and the whole line is
backing up, putting the plant behind schedule.
The Personnel Manager decides to see for himself--nobody could be that bad!
But sure enough. There are Elmos all over the floor and they're really
piling up! There at the end of the line is the new employee, with a roll of
red plush fabric and a big bag of marbles. The men watch in amazement as she
cuts a little piece of fabric, wraps it around two marbles and begins to 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
the woman. "I'm sorry," he says to her, barely able to keep a straight
face," but I think you misunderstood me yesterday. Your job is to give each
Elmo two test tickles."
