Sharpie
Esther Ku worked as a traveling sales representative for Sharpie and claims that she was fired for laughing too much. She says that she was using this trainee position as a way for her to explore doing comedy while on the road. On her spare time, she manages to dedicate her energy to a serious and troublesome cause — to end tickling forever.
“Tickling is forcing someone to laugh when you’re not being funny. Tickling is the opposite of comedy. If you’ve ever Tickled anyone, you’re a fraud!” she warns.
