EXTREME SPORTS

You may iron your clothes for school, work, or for social functions. But there are some people who iron IN EXTREME WAYS just for the fun of it.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extreme_ironing
people take an ironing board to a remote location and iron items of clothing.

But let's be a little bit honest -- Ironing really is a good way to exercise yourself to balance the muscle mass of another activity that may be done on leisure time. Right?

Extreme sports usually have a point to them -- to test the level-headedness and flexibility of people under very stressful situations. Flipping a bike in midair, skating up a vertical wall at 20 MPH. That's extreme. The only thing extreme here is making sure your clothes don't get wrinkled on the descent.

Time for FOX to pick this up as a TV show.

  2. I think extreme ironing should be ironing the clothes while you wear them.
