Socks missing socks...
Well it has been a while since I posted. I have one of those questions. I now have 5 socks that are missing their respective partners. How does this happen ? I mean I take them off at the same time. The washer and dryer are not eating them. The only thing I can think of is that I am leaving them in hotel rooms every time I travel. Think of it as a calling card. Maybe the hotel staff is stealing them ! Or TSA is filing them somewhere as evidence ! All I know is each week I am missing another sock. Maybe it is old age. First the eyes. Next my socks. Then my hearing. Oh no ! The one thing is certain, I cannot throw the singles out. You never know when their counterpart will return. It is probably safe to say they will not show up. But you never know.... Posted at 09:11AM Oct 20, 2008 by leroyk in Personal | Comments[3] |

Simple fix - buy only one type of socks - then matching up after losing two evens it out.

I know, it´s an amazing fact. Socks lost in combat. How on earth does it happen. It has been wandering arround in my head my whole life. And I refuse to accept it. But don´t worry. I am studying statistics for my psychology studies and my teacher is a real genius so I asked him The Question I have been wanting to ask somebody my whole life but never dared ( I am 40, go figure...)I know he will come up with something brilliant. Once I get his answer I will forward it to you.

You should try putting your wanted partners up here.
We're just trying to help socks find their sole mates.
