"The ones that have been discovered have been in female burial sites, which suggests women did most of the ironing.

No, it's evidence that they did ALL of the ironing.

Cripes, every Viking man know that if you're forced to do the ironing, you start with your wife's blouse. You burn it to a crisp, and presto!, she wants to do it all from now on.

You know, that actually works for me in a variety of chores. The trick is to look like you really are trying and to act very dissapointed and frustrated when the wife finds the diaper on backwards or that the whites are now pink. It is also of the utmost importance that the next time that particular chore has to be done that you adamantly insist on doing it and actually get into an argument so that she takes the position that she will do it. As we all know, once they take a position they won't move off of it.

I first learned this in my youth watching Bugs Bunny argue with Daffy Duck about whether it was rabbit season or duck season, but I digress.
