Husband of the Year So Far: Man “Trying to Wow Wife with Housework Irons His Own Face”

This one’s a framer.

If I’ve heard this story once, I’ve heard it a million times:  Man irons clothes.  Man hears phone ring.  Man presses iron to ear.

“Hello?  Oh, #%&@!”

According to the bastion of hard-hitting journalism, The Sun, Tomas Paczkowski of Poland (*RESISTING URGE TO MAKE EASY POLITICALLY INCORRECT JOKE HERE*) wanted to show his wife that he was just as good around the house as she was.  The Einstein of Housework tells the paper that:

“Women are always going on about multi-tasking, so I set up the iron, opened a beer and put the boxing on the telly.  Trouble was, I got so involved in the boxing that I wasn’t really thinking about what I was doing.  So when the phone rang I picked up the iron by mistake and pressed it to my ear.”

But wait!  It gets even more Three’s Company-esque.  The paper states:

“Tomas then added insult to injury when he ran to the bathroom to put cold water on the burn only to run into the door,” giving him a black eye.  Medics say he will make a full recovery, but is off housework duty for now.

Hmpf.  The lengths some men will go to, I tell ya, just to get out of some lousy housework.  On the bright side, the left side of Tomas’ face is totally wrinkle-free!
