SHEMP:  (With a mad look on his face, moans and grunts and then tries to straighten them out again).  Shemp spins around in a circle and laughs at the pants and sticks his tongue out at them because the pants are temporially flat.

SHEMP:  (By the time he has the iron in his hand and turns around to press them has noticed that the pants are rolled back up again).

SHEMP:  (Being furious at the pants), forgets that he has the iron in his other hand, goes to clap his hands only to have burned his hand.

SHEMP:  (Now really furious with the pants quickly blows on his burnt hand and returns to try and press the pants).

SHEMP:  (Rolls out the pants), climbs up on the ironing board to keep them flat, (while he is on the ironing board he stops to take a look at his burnt hand and shakes it and moans in pain).

SHEMP:  (Still on the ironing board, picks up the iron, crawls forward to start ironing, but in the process he closes himself in the cupboard and gets slammed back out and falls on the floor yelling in pain).

SHEMP:  (Picks himself off of the floor and in deep pain and a hurt look on his face rubs his head with one hand and checks to see if he has a broken nose with the other hand).

SHEMP:  (Picks himself off of the floor with a mad and determined look on his face, throws the ironing board up in the air and states).  "You double crosser."  Only to have the ironing board come crashing down and hitting him on the head.

SHEMP:  (Letting out several hurtful moans), gingerly puts the ironing board in the cupboard, but forgets to clsoe the door carefully, slamming it shut to keep the ironing board in place, it bounces back and hits poor Shemp square in the nose.

SHEMP:  (Dances in pain, shakes his fists and mumbles madly at the ironing board door).  He goes and gets a broom and says to the ironing board as he raises the broom to hit the ironing board says, "Wise guy, this time I'll close ya," just as Shemp goes to hit the ironing board door to close it, Moe walks in and gets hit square in the puss with the broom.

SHEMP:  (Walks over to Moe, and puts his hand on Moe's shoulder and says).  "Moe I'm sorry Moe --- and Moe replies to Shemp as he takes the broom from Shemp's hand, "Think nothing of it," (Shemp has a happy look on his face and says to Moe).  "Gee thanks," (Moe replies), "You're welcome."  (Moe then hits Shemp over the head with the broom handle, and Shemp grabs his head and rubs it and groans in pain.
