I own about 50 shirts.

They are white, blue or black.

I hate ironing, so only have to do so about once a quarter ... but it's a big job.  :(

I tried ironing one shirt yesterday .... hard .... long time ..... barely passed Mrs Westie's quality check .... 30 shirts at the one time is mind boggling!   :o

p.s. almost as slow as my painting. :-[
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

The fact that any one irons anything I find amazing.

Never wear them. Too constricting.

As opposed to irony - "sort of like iron" - I suppose ;)
