Man burns his head after mistaking iron for phone
telegraph ^ | 12-12-12 | Matthew Day

Tomasz Paczkowski from the northern Polish town of Elblag now sports bandages around his head after a request from his wife to help with the housework while he enjoyed a few days off work backfired. “My wife had gone to work and asked me to help with the housework,” the 32-year old told the Polish newspaper Fakt. “After breakfast I started to work. I turned on the boxing channel on the TV, opened a beer and started ironing. “I was really getting involved in the boxing and was not really thinking about what I was doing,” he continued. “Suddenly the phone rang and I mucked things up: instead of grabbing the receiver I picked up the iron and put it to my ear.”

Does he work for the outfit that tore down the French castle and never touched the outhouse that they were hired to remove?

Reminds me of the doctor who reached behind his ear for his pen and found a rectal thermometer there instead.
“At least I know what I did with my pen.”

they're not Polack jokes, they're Polack life lessons.

Any truth to that, Cronos?

As a result of his accident he said he would give up watching boxing on the television but would continue to iron.

Yeah, sure. I'll bet he gets some grief for that comment...

I suspect this did not happen after the first beer he opened that morning. After the first case is probably more accurate.

As a kid, I remember a similar joke about Hellen Keller, though beer and boxing were not involved.

” Mr Paczkowski said a burning sensation on his ear soon made him realise his mistake. To compound his misfortune a dash to the bathroom to cool his burn with water resulted in his head hitting a door frame, causing an injury just above the left eye.”

Just wasn’t his day...
