Iron-man

Extreme ironing is a new (and quite ridiculous?) "sport" (or that's what they are calling it), in which people take iron + iron board + 26kg power generator + wrinkled shirt to remote locations (underwater, while snowboarding, parachuting, in war zones etc).
This established international sport allegedly started in England, but it is the kind of activity that Japanese people are fond of.
38-year-old and founder of Extreme Ironing Japan Matusawa has recently successfully ironed and folded a badly wrinkled shirt on top of the 3776-meter Kengamine peak of Mount Fuji.
"There was a therapeutic effect and a sense of fulfillment being on Japan's highest peak", he said.
I bet it's his wife who irons all his clothes at home...


N.B: Currently reading Carry on, Jeeves (P.G. Wodehouse). Still funny and fresh for a book that was written 80 years ago.
