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.”

Or he burned his face in a totally different but more idiotic way and invented this cover story to spare extra humiliation...

My cousin while growing up had a large burn on his face. Kinda looked like a porkchop. I asked him what happended, and he said he was checking to see if the iron was hot and touched it to his face. He was about 12. No reason, just wanted to know.
