Technique 42: The Art of Extreme Ironing

Also known as "Ironing While Hanging Off a Cliff," this technique is a delicate dance of balance and precision. It requires the ironer to simultaneously iron a crumpled garment while precariously perched on the edge of a rocky outcropping.

Key Principles:

• Center of Gravity: Locate your center of mass, and adjust your ironing board accordingly.
• Counterbalance: Develop the ability to compensate for the unpredictable motion of the rocky surface.
• Steam Control: Master the art of directing steam to prevent it from escaping into the surrounding environment.
• Garment Preservation: Ensure that the garment remains intact, despite the turbulence of the situation.
