Creative Ironing 101
as taught by the male members of my family, who think "Extreme Ironing" is cool.


CURL-RONING - use wife's curling iron to press the buttonhole area of your dress shirt. Cover the rest of the wrinkled shirt with a jacket.

PAD-N-GO - In the morning, slip your shirt between two damp towels and two heating pads. Leave in place all day. Magically irons while you play video games.

SHOWER-ONING - hang shirt in the shower while you clean up. (This technique is more "creative steaming" than "creative ironing.")

DRYERNING - throw wrinkled article of clothing in the clothes dryer with a wet towel. Wrinkles are apparently forced out by repeated slapping with a wet towel. I can't help but wonder if this method would work on my crow's feet.
