The Invention of the Ironing Board
It's a little-known fact that the ironing board was invented by a bored housewife named Bertha in the 1920s. Bertha, tired of constantly re-ironing her husband's favorite suit, decided to create a contraption that would make ironing faster, easier, and more enjoyable. And thus, the ironing board was born.
