"Hello. My name is Mr. Red Ears."

“A young man came to a family reunion with extremely red ears. He explained that he had been intently watching the championship football game on TV. His wife was standing near his chair, doing the ironing, and she had set the phone on the ironing board so she could talk to her mother while she worked. When she left to hang up the ironed clothes in the closet, the phone rang.
‘I was deeply engrossed in the game at that point,’ the man said. ‘So, keeping my eyes glued to the television, I reached for the phone but grabbed the hot iron instead and put it to my ear.’
‘But how did both ears get burned?’ someone asked.
“I hadn’t any more than hung up,’ the man said, ‘when the guy called back!’”
