Where do Socks Go?

[Evastar]

why can i never find a matching pair of socks? i have an entire drawer full, and could spend ten minutes searching through it every morning, but there seem to be hardly any pairs.

At one stage i resorted to buying black socks, thinking at least they'll match, but no, there seems to be a hundred black socks, all different shades of black and different lengths. So where do they go to?

My teenage kids and their friends have just given up, apparently it's trendy now to wear socks that don't match. So looks like i've been trendy for years

You wear socks Eva!

My dreams are shattered.

[Evastar]

It could be the underpants gnomes expanding there business.

It's a regional thing. Where my girlfriend lives, socks are found half buried in the garden... some are eaten, others just mauled. Think she has a graboid problem (Tremors).

Where I have a problem with missing underwear. Somewhere between wash basket, washing machine, dryer & draw... there's a blackhole, just sucking by boxers into it. Never to be seen again.

Ive noticed over the years a disturbing correlation between sock colour and colour of belly button fluff.

Take for instance white socks, white fluff.
Black socks, black fluff
Red socks, red fluff, etc.
This could easily be dismissed, but ive looked into it, spent an inordinate amount of time studying the phenomenon.

To the point i decided to fool it and went through a phase of odd sock tomfoolery, blue and red socks... purple fluff!

I could only deduce two scenarios from it:
One that the body must secrete some kind of enzyme, lets call it socktase that partially dissolves the sock and reabsorbs it back into the soles of your feet, then going through a complicated chemical process in your liver before being spewed back out as some slimy substance in your belly button that gets air fluffed.

Two: there are actually 26hrs in a day but for two of those hours the entire world stops and little people, possibly circus midgets harvest odd socks, for reasons indeterminate, and plant ouse in peoples belly buttons. As some kind of cryptic message, maybe they're feeding them to some kind of dragon beast that's coercing them and they need to use belly button ouse as some kind of rudimentary language, it could be a plea for help.

I never quite got all the ins and outs figured before they started me back on the meds.

mix and match. is anyone going to pull up the leg of your pants to check? and if they do its a conversation starter
"Oh yeah the blue and green sock combo is to remind me i have to go to the dentist today"

but did any of them match jas?

[Mjolinor]

Don't have the problem. I thought all socks and smalls were the same. I put them in the washing basket dirty and they appear back in my drawer clean, socks already paired up.

Are all socks not like that?

[GastonJ]

Eva all left footed socks turn into coathangers, have you never wondered why you have so many coathangers? Well now you know.

Dryer Ate My Sock !!!!!

I have a good system.

With myself and my 2 sons all wearing roughly the same size we all have different types or colours. I am in charge of throwing them theirs singly but always pairing my own.

Occasionally there is a hiccup in this system when son number one decides he wants to do the job but then daddy sends boys to room until my sock is found (son number 1 is 19 and son number 2 is 15)

Evastar i have found your odd sock somebody had bin in your room .
