This is a man with a mission to prove that he can iron at least one shirt. But, of course, he must do it in a manly way.

Este es un hombre con una misión para demonstrar que puede planchar por lo menos una camisa. Pero, por supuesto, debe hacerlo de un modo varonil.

Alejandro es un gran escalador de montañas, pero desafortunadamente tiene una obsesión por la limpieza!

Después de terminar de planchar la camisa, luego planchó los pantalones.


Alex is a great mountain climber, but unfortunately has an obsession for neatness!

After he finished ironing his shirt, he then ironed his pants.

Tener un pie en ambos campos puede no planchar hacia fuera la problema.

Having a foot in both camps may not iron out the problem. rolleyes sick Trying to translate these two phrases into Spanish does not work ,so I have rearranged the wording but kept the meaning , forgive me for messing around but this is a learning process I guess for us all.

Tiéne un pie en dos partes , planchar la ropa sólo aplazó la decisión de qué lado a descender.

He has a foot on both sides , doing his ironing only postpones the decision of which side to descend.

Si mis panas del club de machos me vieran planchando mi propia ropa,, sería en un apuro muy duro. Es por eso vine aqui para hacerlo!

If my friends in the macho club see me ironing my own clothes, I'll be in a lot of trouble. That's why I came out here to do it!!
