Sock it to me

I did laundy the other day and was amazed as I pulled sock after sock after sock out of the washer. Amazed because I wear socks only once or twice a week. I began to wonder how long I had gone without washing a load that included socks or if the washer was finally coughing up all the socks it had been hoarding for the past 10 years.

I did some quick multiplication in my head and calculated that 1 - 2 pair of socks a week comes to 2 to 4 individual socks a week, or 8 to 12, maybe even 15, a month. I know that 15 socks would be 7 1/2 pairs which may seem improbably but there is usually one sock hiding under the bed. Sometimes there are 3 or 5 under the bed, but never an even number.

I usually buy the same brand of sport socks in either black, blue, or white in one of two sizes. I can't figure out why when I pull a handful of socks out of the sock drawer none of them match.

Maybe that's why I'm usually barefoot.


Why did the elephant run around in white socks? He couldn't find his sneakers!

A brunette doing laundry asked her blonde friend to help her find a match for her sock. The blonde replied, "What for? Are you going to set it on fire!"

Did you hear the joke about the gym socks? Well, you don't want to. It stinks!
