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.

I really have to give this guy credit. He takes responsibility for his own error and then talks about what HE is going to do differently to ensure he does not make the mistake again!
I found my car keys. I was holding them in my hand. Looked everywhere. Couldn't find them so decided to just leave without them and walk to the store. Noticed I had 'em when I was locking the front door on the way out.
IIRC, you flipped this book over and it was The Official Italian Joke Book.
