Mystery Link: Expect The Unexpected!

A friend of mine used to iron fizzy drinks. It was soda pressing. Thank that’s bad? I had another friend that had a job ironing cowboy shirts. Howdy pressing. Ironing is a chore nobody wants to do. Well, almost everybody-there are a small group of people that enjoy it, but they like to do it at, say, 10,000 feet or up in the trees. Is it fact or fiction? Click here to find out.
