Ironing
Ironing is an extreme sport in which the player uses an iron to press the wrinkles out of several articles of clothing. As you can see, it is not a task for the faint-hearted. The man to the left is ironing his newly dried shirt in the ocean. Usually, it is women who take up the challenge of the ironing chore, and have purchased indoor household irons and ironing boards, a sign of extreme courage and toughness. Ironing should only be attempted by professinals, and most moms are not aware of the extreme danger and insanity of the sport.
History
Ironing first began along time ago, and was invented by Thomas Edison. Edison had just invented the vibrating toilet seat, but after sitting on it for days, he noticed that his pants became wrinkled. So he invented the iron, to iron his clothes. The iron became very popular among moms, until the 20's. Wrinkled jeans soon became the new style, and the iron was forgotten.
Ironing was revived in 1969 when Neil Armstrong brought an ironing board to the moon to iron his wrinkled up spacesuit. Bill Gates, who was poor at the time, found this as an oppurtunity to make millions. He founded a company called Microsoft, and began selling irons. No one wanted to buy irons, because they were boring. So Gates redesigned the iron, to make it more dangerous and difficult to use, and customers poured in. Explosions and injuries caused by irons were reported in the news, explaining how dangerous ironing is. This drew in more and more people who wanted to buy irons. Gates made 50 billion dollars with Microsoft Irons, but for some reason, he switched to selling computers, which hardly earned any money at all.
