Furby Foul Up Foils Production
I heard alarms going off at Santa’s workshop about 20 minutes ago. The sound of that alarm was different. It signals a production problem. I called over the Elf Bernard right away to see what the problem is.
“It is these darn Furbies!” Elf Bernard said. “Who decided to bring these things back? They are so difficult to make!.” Elf Gomer told me the problem with Furbies is all the hair they require to make them. He said there was a mix up when they were switching the line over from making Baby Alive dolls to Furbies. Someone left the doll hair in the machine and all kinds of really blonde Furbies were coming out. A couple of elves thought they were cute and they let the line run but when Elf Bernard just happened to walk by he saw what was going on and hit the alarm.
It will take a while to get things back to working order. In the meantime, Elf Bernard has ordered an inspection of the last 4 hours of work to see if there are any mistakes that they missed. The halt in production in the workshop also means a halt for the elves in Wrapping. They too are going back four hours to check for mistakes.
We are not sure yet if this means a delay for Santa’s sleigh launch.
