Good luck ironing that out.

uhhh …. too much clothes? Maybe? o_O

Now you know why he’s Andys’ friend!

hate to break it to you Chalkie but an ironing board is a daft gift!

Now you can’t afford the washer and dryer for anniversary and Christmas.

How many ironing boards can fit in Chalkies…….butt?

He really is that daft because he still buys Andy’s pints!

Now she can break 19 of them over his head, and still get the ironing done.

I think he has given further evidence that he is even dafter than people think.

Never buy your woman an ironing board for her birthday or you may wind up with an iron upside your head. Say it with flowers.

What kind of a birthday gift is that?? Can’t you afford costume jewelry, Chalkie?

Not daft. But seriously misguided.

anyone wanting to host poor Chalkie for a few nights after Ruby’s Birthday?

An ironing board? I know somebody’s going to get hit with an iron on their wife’s birthday. What is this the 1940s?

He mistakenly asked for the quantity discount. He wanted the discount, but not the quantity.

Instead of ordering from Amazon, did he order from Mersey?

A new ironing board is a birthday present? Yes, Chalkie, you are as daft as some people think.

Maybe he can use them to build a shelter. He’s going to need a place to live!

Er… 19 are for me to build a nice raft for my annual Thames excursion.

I hope that ironing board is padded because you’ll be sleeping on it for a while, Chalkie!

Only once did I ever sassed my grandma. About age 7. She whipped me with the cord on the electric iron. When my parents, I got another whipping. about 1953 or so. I learned to keep my mouth shut and be respectful ever since.

I once gave the wife a water heater as an anniversary gift. Wrong choice.

The irony is ironing boards have nothing to do with metallurgy

Well that opened his eyes…….

Ruby will probably put that birthday gift where the sun don’t shine. I would encourage you to get her something else.

Guys get tools to make work easier. Give ladies tools to make their work easier and watch out!

Chalkie’s an eraser short of a blackboard!

Last year I gave my wife two loads of topsoil for her 64th birthday. This Saturday she turns 65. How do I top that?

Wait, wait! You mean Andy is IT-savvy enough to figure out what’s in the cart? Really?

You’d better order a doghouse too.

Why would you even order one of them? And he better give that present anonymously.

Chalkie really loves Ruby, that’s the reason for the 20 ironing boards.

Buying her an ironing board is like buying her a vacuum cleaner, you should know better

Actually the whole “gift giving” thing has gotten out of hand, especially when is designated for certain holidays. like Mothers Day and Fathers Day, Christmas, valentines day, birthdays.. and whole industries have developed because of it…. and thinking of things to get for someone else that has everything, has us all going out and getting “gift cards”, so they can get whatever they want…unless they are for a specific place… and while I do believe it’s ridiculous, I then remember that it is keeping lots of people from being jobless… and is driving our economy!.. Unfortunately, when times are bad, like now, when prices of our necessities and taxes and fuel grow faster than our income, it is those “businesses” that suffer the most… and even our pets, which many people have to give up when they can’t afford their food or vet bills anymore!!

Somehow, I doubt Ruby will appreciate getting one ironing board for her birthday, let alone twenty.

Chalkie you must not think much of your wife to order 20 ironing board not much of a gift

Chalkie is a bit daft.
