Future Sock programme

Maccattack

A change is coming. A new era approaches. It will be uncomfortable for many but totally unavoidable. After years of blissful ignorance and shear selfishness it is now time to make some changes. It’s never too late to start.

The Scenario:

I woke up this morning scratching my lower region as I stumbled out of bed. The kids still sleeping, my wife pretending she was too. “Just a few minutes more” I’m sure she was thinking.

I bent down to open my undie draw. Opened it. Found my favourite pair of boxers. The ones with a big rip at the side. “Comfort is king” I thought. But everything comes at a price, as I was about to find out.

As I searched frantically for the next bit of clothing my wife began to stir. This was my cue. ‘Have you seen my socks?”

That was it. It was on. I was bombarded and berated. “wash your own bl***y socks” “I’m not you’re servant” yadda yadda yadda.

You see. Its not that I couldn’t find any. It was that I couldn’t find a MATCHING BL***Y PAIR!!.

So now its time to take charge. I need to formulate a fool proof method of ensuring a continuous supply of matching socks for my daily use.

Methodically conceived methods considered.

Just use black socks only?

AlmightyCushion

Just make sure that all the socks you buy are exactly the same. Then it isn't possible to have a pair that doesn't match. Problem solved.

G&T

Buy 20 pairs of the same colour/style

petes

Buy seven of the same pairs a week.

Don't be a conformist to the Facist sock regime. Wear odd socks.

Yawn

There was apparently an Odd Sock society in college last year operating under the mysterious by-line "ever wonder where the other one goes?" Sounds like a good lead to me, they must have at least 4 billion odd socks at this stage.

Have an acceptable day.

Socks to be you.

I agree with this product/service/sock program

You can get nifty little clips you clip onto the dirty socks that are washing machine safe. Keeps em in pairs from the minute they're off your feet.

Just be careful not to go to a laymen's shop. They'll screw you every time.

I thought I was buying some black socks, but they turned out to just be very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, VERY dark blue.

I think socks have a mind of their own and try to escape. No matter what I do, I always seem to miss place a couple. It's not as if my apartment is that big. It gets annoying after a while.

The Hill Billy

Ditch the socks & get yourself some Jesus boots.

SimpleSam06

Open a factory in asia to produce socks as you need them. Everyone's doing it!

Maccattack

Ha! I tried the 'one sock color' thing. They still end up being odd.

Old ones get mixed with new ones. One foot feels nice n snuggly wuggly and the other one feels like its been transplanted onto a hobbo.

You could try:
I love you and I know you aren't my servant, you are my wife.
That means I own you, now find my socks.
Remember honey it is Love, honour and OBEY.


Theoretically you could try that but odd socks are the way to go.

If I tried that I'd have odd coloured eyes. BLACK AND BLUE.

User45701

why do they have to be matching, do you wear shorts in work?
do you wear jeans and trousers that are too short?

i dont get whats wrong with odd socks unless you dont wear shoes in work

Maccattack

good point. i guess its a state of mind. Maybe if i just change my expectations. I dont have to do any work!.. I LIKE IT!!
