Which one? And where do you think they actually go? |

WHYYYYYYYYYYYY?!?  |

I subscribe to the theory that socks are the larve form of wire hangers. My evidence is that I have a lot fewer socks and a lot more hangers than I've purchased. |

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Dec 2004 Location: Rochester, NY | | | I'm pretty sure the Dish Fairy takes your socks at night after she's done cleaning the kitchen and washing up all those dishes. I have no idea what she does with them though. I just can't figure it out. I know it's her though. I've seen her little foot prints. I sprinkled flour on the floor before sleep one night and sure enough they were there in my clean morning kitchen. Tracks all the way into the laundry room. I figure it's best to just let her have the socks since she does such a good job with the dishes. She even does pots and pans! |

|  | Friends, Romans, Bass Players... | | Join Date: Nov 2007 Location: Spencer, MA, USA | | I always know who the culprits are in my house - my 18 and 22-year-old boys. They run out of socks, they help themselves to Dad's, especially when Dad's at work early in the morning. I only buy gray socks from WallyWorld, so when I do my laundry I check their room first. I usually find them all.
I can't hammer them, though. My brother and I used to do the same thing to our Dad!

Being single means you wash your own clothes and you never lose a pair of socks then. Recommended. Or not.

I have no idea why socks love Lithuania so much, but I think they established a bas of operations there. Any day now, we'll be besieged by torrential hordes of unfashionable footwear.
