Iron

It was time to get an iron as some time ago I already got the board, but you can't do much without the iron I reckon ... don't ask I'm a man. Anyway getting an iron is one simple task I thought and actually normally it isn't very difficult buying an iron, but I made one tiny mistake and that's getting it at "Media Market" (=a giant store in Holland like Wallmart).









I've been staring at a huge wall with two hundred irons! The only thing I could think was ... "geez that are a lot of irons". Take inside your mind a lot of irons, multiply it by four and that's about how many irons there were in front of me. A salesman came up behind me and said the legendary sentence; "are you searching for a ...". I ask if this is his department and proudly he answers; "yes indeed sir I'm the caretaker of this entire iron department". Than maybe I've got an interesting question for you as indeed I'm looking for an iron, but your sharp eye didn't miss that one. I see you've got a lot of irons so could you tell me what would be a good iron for me?

Of course I know that expensive doesn't always mean it's a good product also, but for some reason this does always applies when I'm inside the store. I always go home with the most expensive item from the store. I've got no idea "HOW" they do it, but they just do it.

The salesman that I was talking to also. If you want the best sir than you've got to take that one over there and that is by accident also the most expensive one, BUT than you'll have the best one! It's the caviar of all the irons. I've got that one at home too! Actually I really can't tell you this, but for the two hundred euro ... that you pay MORE you get 500 Watt power extra!

My jaw drops and the mind of a man begins to work. I begin to count the hundred watts on two hands. Yes indeed I do need some Watt in power. As when I've got more watt ... than I can iron ... longer!? Or can I put all my clothes on one pile and just throw the iron over it? Yeah I need that much power! This works if a man tells another man do you want "better", "bigger", "stronger", "fatter" ... it could be about a iron, but every man will react; "YES OF COURSE ROARRRRR!". So I go out the store; "A 500 WATT IRON ALL FOR ME!!!!".

Not even ten seconds after I leave the store; I stop, look back, look down at the bag and think; "what just happened?"!?
