Tickle Me Elmo

Misunderstood Directions...
A woman completely unfamiliar with any sort of manufacturing process applies for a job at a local “Tickle-Me-Elmo” factory. The manager, who was a friend of the young lady’s father put her in a department that would only require a minimal amount of effort on her part, and yet give her an opportunity to get her feet wet in the manufacturing industry.
On her first day, the shift foreman showed the young lady around the plant, and took her to the department where she would work. After an explaination of her duties, and being assured by the woman’s self-confidence, he left her to perform her task, promising to check back on her in about an hour.
Sixty minutes later, the foreman noticed that the new hire’s department was getting a bit back-logged, and attributed it to first-day nervousness, opting to give her a chance to figure out the job and speed up as time progressed. At two hours into her shift, the foreman noticed that the young lady’s work had become so backed up that the entire line of “Tickle Me Elmo” toys was now at a standstill.
Now the foreman and most of the line employees were upset. Angrily he approached the new employee to see just what it was she was doing that was affecting their production.
With a great deal of patience, he listened as she explained that with each toy, as it came off the line, she would take a square of red cloth, place two marbles in it, and hand-sew it onto the front of the toy.
Now seeing the confusion, he corrected her… “No miss,” he said. “I wanted you to give each “Tickle Me Elmo” two test tickles….”

Here is another version:

A women desperately looking for work goes into a toy factory. The personal manager
goes over her resume and explains to her that he regrets he has nothing
worthy of her. The woman answers that she really needs work and will take
almost anything. The personal manager hums and haws and finally says he
does have a low skill job on the "Tickle Me Elmo" line and nothing else.
The woman happily excepts. He takes her down to the line and explains her
duties and that she should be in for 8:00 AM the next day.

The next day at 8:45 there's a knock at the personal manager's door. The
"Tickle Me Elmo" line manager comes in and starts ranting about the woman
he just hired. After screaming for 15 minutes about how badly backed up
the assembly line is the personal manager suggested he show him the
problem.

Together they head down to the line and sure enough Elmos are 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 the material used for the Elmos and
has a big bag of marbles. They both watch as she cuts a little piece of
fabric and takes 2 marbles and starts sewing them between Elmo's legs.

The personal managers starts to kill himself laughing and finally after 20
minutes of rolling around he pulls himself together and walks over to the
new employee and says, "I'm sorry. I guess you misunderstood me yesterday.
What I wanted you to do was give Elmo two test tickles."

Haha both are good.
