SOCKS?

so i was thinking the other day, when i was putting my shoes on. (no.... really?! you were thinking?!?!!?) the last time i had worn them i had taken them off and had lazily stuffed the socks into the shoes, like many slackers do. so i noticed that the sock i'd worn on my right foot got put in the left shoe. and this got me thinking..
when you buy socks there are no specific right and left foot socks. but after you've worn them once or twice your big toe streaches out one side of the sock and it becomes either a left sock or a right sock..
weird.
more on socks..
where do they disappear to? seriously, you have 10 pair of socks, you do laundry, suddenly you only have 9 1/2 pair!!! one sock disapears!!! never to be seen again...
so after a while, you buy new socks, but they're not the same as your old ones!! so now on laundry day, you not only loose socks but you have to sort through a huge pile of them searching for some that match!!! then, due to the fact that so many of them are missing, and you have a ton of different socks now, you end up with a whole bunch of extra leftover socks. with no matches!!
socks with no friends!! how sad is that?!
eventually, it gets to the point where you could make a sock monkey army with all the spare sockies!!!
but as soon as you do something with an "extra" sock, another one matching it shows up suddenly that is also no longer half of a pair!!
it's like some crazy sock cycle!!!!
- sock is made and stuck in package with others
- sits in store for week
- is purchased and taken home
- is worn and turned into a left or right sock
- is washed and partner is lost
- is left lying on floor in between washing machine and dryer untill match can be found
(now there are 3 possible endings)
1. other sock loses match and is paired up with first sock (happily ever after)
2. sock is lost forever behind dryer
3. sock is tied in a knot and given as new chew toy to dog, who tears it to shreds and leaves it in the backyard to be later run over by lawnmower

why do we bother with these things?
