I was in a rush ironing my work clothes one morning wearing just my bra and knickers and had a rather unfortunate accident when I accidentally ran the iron into my tummy just above my knicker line. There was a loud hiss and a sudden smell of burning flesh I pulled the iron away and a lump of skin went with it, as the skin pulled away it curled up and turned black It was all I could do not to faint but I managed to run screaming to the shower where I hosed it down with cold water.

When I'd eventually regained some composure I rang my boss and explained that I might be a little late. When I eventually arrived after a very uncomfortable drive (seatbelt sat exactly where the burn was) the first aider took one look and insisted that I went to A&E

Ladies, ironing can be dangerous, train your men to do it instead

As an aside

Why would you iron your underwear?

See, duvet covers, pillow cases, sheets, hankerchiefs for the same question.

I did that when I was very fat and very pregnant! I forgot my bump was there! I got some very strange looks when I went to see the midwife!

I think you will find that they count watching BB, gassing on the phone and eating cakes as " multi-tasking"

Yes, but only after they've done all the cooking and washing up though.

Owning an iron is an admission you bought the wrong clothes.

This thread could have gone on for another 200 pages without the need for a naked man to appear in it.

What were you thinking boxst?

Irons:


They are often combined with three Drivers but you have to ensure that you get the best driver or results can be deadly. Here are a couple of drivers which were the wrong one's to use.

Drivers:




Drivers are also sometimes referred to as Woods. But I don't know why. Here you can see a Wood using a Putter to confuse matters.



I am still unsure how anyone has managed to burn themselves while using any of the above.

Hope this clears things up for everyone

**** knows, but somewhere in the conversation there would have been a very tiny but significant bit of information and the trick is remembering or listening to that small section, then when asked

"are you bloody listening to me " you recount the info on demand

* Please note that under no circumstances, should young men, kids or those in the early stages of puberty/relationships attempt this art. It takes years of practise, honed and perfected through many hardships and failed attempts.
Trying to be flippant about this could and will result in severe moody looks, bedroom privilages curtailed and in extreme cases, loss of limbs or bits
