Can't get the joke 4 - irons. It goes like Boy: My mother and father are in the steel and iron business. Friend: Really? Boy: Yes, my father steals, and my mother irons. While I can understand that meaning "steals" while saying "steel" is kind of funny, I was wondering what is the meaning of "irons" here which make it a joke.

what is a docket? I'm reading a dialogue in a textbook like this: "I'd like to return this address. I bought it here yesterday but it's coming apart here." "Oh, yes. I see. Have you got the docket?" "Yes. But I don't want to exchange it. I think I'd like my money back" I looked up the word "docket" in various dictionaries, but can't seem find a good meaning for the use in this dialogue.
