A Polish man has burnt the side of his head while doing housework after mistaking the iron for a phone.
Tomasz Paczkowski, from the northern Polish town of Elblag, is now swathed in bandages after his wife asked him to help with the housework while he enjoyed a few days off work.
"My wife had gone to work," 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.
"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." Mr Paczkowski said a burning sensation on his ear soon made him realise his mistake.
To compound his misfortune, he hit his head on a door frame while dashing to the bathroom to cool his burn with water. He suffered an injury just above the left eye.
Mr Paczkowski said he would give up watching boxing on the television but would continue to iron.

Re: A Polish guy was doing the ironing...
Perhaps "beer" right after breakfast could be something he may want to change if he is going to use household appliances, especially those that produce heat. 
I expect to go straight to hell...........at least I won't have to spend time making new friends.

He's Polish, would it have made ANY difference. 
Your collective inability to acknowledge this obvious truth makes you all look like fools.
