What happened?

One day a 2nd Lt. arrives at the base hospital with terrible burns on both sides of his head. When the doctor asks how he got the burns the Lt. replies that he was ironing his shirts when the phone rang. Without thinking he lifted the iron to his ear as if it was the phone's receiver, thus the burn on the right side of his head.

The doctor rolls his eyes in disbelief, then asks how the Lt. got the burn on the left side of his head.

The Lt. replies, "I had to call an ambulance didn't I"?
