Hot Phone

A blonde with two red ears went to her doctor. The doctor asked her what had happened to her ears and she answered

``I was ironing a shirt and the phone rang - but instead of picking up the phone I accidentally picked up the iron and stuck it to my ear''

``Oh Dear!'' the doctor exclaimed in disbelief.''But, what happened to your other ear?''

``The jerk called back!''
