after, he became very irritated and called the computer shop for support.

Ah
Beng with two red ears went to his doctor. The doctor asked him what had happened
to his ears and he answered,
"
I was ironing shirt and the phone ring - 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 the
other ear?"
Ah
Beng: "That stupid fellow called back again!"
