Ironing Puns

Without a trace of irony, here is a page of ironing puns.


Next time you are faced with a pile of clothes that need ironing for the new week's school and work - you can recall this page and set to it with a cheery whistle.


​Or was I being ironic? One thing for sure - I'm not Iron Man. Now, Ironic Man, that has a ring to it. I'll wait for the call from Marval.

Ironing Done

Thank goodness that's over. An hour or so working over a hot ironing board trying to think of humour involved in the process.


Time to take this page and place it on a hanger safely in the wardrobe till work on Monday.


If some of these lines fell a bit flat, that was purely intentional. It's ironing, you see? The flatter, the better.


Or maybe you got creased up. That's good too.
