Man mistakes hot iron for phone

ELBLAG, Poland, - A Polish man said he was distracted by boxing on TV and mistook a hot iron for the telephone, burning the side of his head.

Tomasz Paczkowski, 32, of Elblag said he was helping his wife with housework while he was off work for a few days when he made the error, the British newspaper The Daily Telegraph reported Thursday.

"After breakfast I started to work. I turned on the boxing channel on the TV, opened a beer and started ironing," he said.

"I was really getting involved in the boxing and was not really thinking about what I was doing," Paczkowski said. "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."

Paczkowski said he was further injured when his head struck the doorframe of the bathroom while he was running to pour cold water in his head.

The man said he will continue to help his wife with the ironing, but not while watching boxing on TV.

Just think what would have happened if the caller called back? What a hot head letting off steam. Press on buddy! I’m glad he got that ironed out! His complexion is so smooth.....no wrinkles! There are way to many punch lines here.

This reminds me of a joke I heard in 4th grade: How did Helen Keller burn her face? She answered the iron. If it really happened to this dude, I’m sorry.

I think its more likely that his wife threw the iron at him because he was watching TV instead of doing housework.

You beat me to it. In the pictures he has the iron in his right hand but he burned the left side of his face.

He woke up yesterday and his ears were burning. A friend said that was a sign someone was talking about him.

He woke up this morning and his crotch was burning. He figured it was a good sign...

He then burned his fingers trying to dial 9-1-1.
