Every Christmas I would receive pairs of
socks as presents. And shaving soap. It was a tradition. I could count on it.
As regular as – well – Christmas.
But last year it didn’t happen. I got books
and chocolate and a computer mouse mat.
It’s the internet. The wider choice of shops
and gifts that can be viewed and purchased from the armchair, makes jostling a
way through dense crowds to the high street sock shop, very unattractive.
So having got used to my sock situation
becoming dire approaching Christmas, I didn’t need a calendar.
A glance in my sock drawer consisting
entirely of odd socks indicated the time of year, but not to worry, soon there
would be newcomers, which at first would look out of place, because they always
came as identical twins. How odd !
But not for long. The system would soon turn
them odd. It never fails.
Two socks enter the washer. Two socks exit.
As household tasks go what could be simpler? Socks go from drawer, to feet, to
dirty clothes, to washer and dryer, and back into the drawer.
Of course, anyone associated with a family
knows the truth. Socks disappear. Virtually every residence in the world, has a
drawer, pile, or basket of mismatched socks.
Millions – no, billions – of socks exist with
odd partners not of their choosing. Thrown together in the ritual of the weekly
wash.
But a cunning plan has emerged to fight the tyranny.
Socks Ready Paired Odd!
By short circuiting the existing odd sock
breeding and pairing disorder, it will turn the tables on the gremlins in the drum,
putting them in a confused spin seeing socks start as they normally finish –
odd.
It will work. Look at this guy striding out
in his odd socks. How confident he looks. As well he might. He knows he has
another pair at home exactly like it !

And acceptance of odd socks in public would
have saved me a senior moment recently, when I spent ages
dressing one morning trying to find a sock.
Discovering after 30 minutes of
turning the bedroom upside down, that I had put both on the same foot.
If wearing odd socks were the norm I could
have found a quick replacement from the sock drawer with my eyes shut.
Brilliant. If odd socks make for happiness
why not a website selling odd and funny socks.
The company haven’t got around to selling
packs of new odd socks yet, but the technology is at an advanced stage and the
experts are confident a breakthrough is close.
There is so much secrecy about odd sock
making. Funny socks u.k think washing machine companies are in on the
conspiracy. Why make a viewing port hole of thick opaque glass that you can't see through? All the whirling and swirling is obviously designed to distract.
Fortunately, the eureka moment is near,
because funny socks uk are fortunate in having the help of two odd sock
whistle blowers Sog and Sag.
Lots of socks whistle – phew!–
but each of these insiders started as one of identical twins. Having been
through the wash many times they know the terrible secret that tore them from
their kin – tumbled, tortured, and turned,like all other pairs – odd.
They are only able to safely reveal their
story because slack and neglected conditions in the sock drawer allowed them to
escape to tell all to funnysocks.uk.
And now because of the growing popularity of
funny socks uk range of team socks, Sog and Sag think it is
only a matter of time before bitter rivals accidentally become paired odd!
It’s not a problem when a plain red colour is
seen out with a blue. But imagine a Chelsea with a Tottenham .
I
Or a New York Yankee with a Boston Red Sox.
Riots have been known to start for less.
And socks deserve better. They are taken for
granted. Put upon,,misused,,abused, accused – despite this they will stick
unchanged loyally to you. They are there every morning, standing in the
corner, ‘locate in the dark, whiff wafter’ gently wafting. (Patent pending)
Waste of money, the boffins overlooked the
fact that people cannot smell their own odours
It’s an undeserved soggy socks image, and in
this enlightened age funny
socks.uk are determined to do something about it.
Their philosophy is simple. Socks want to
please. If their wearer is happy they are happy. They have a history of doing
good going back to when their family relative – Ladies Tights in particular –
were known to provide services in addition to those intended.
Especially in cars. I can recall a story of a
car’s radiator overheating with a broken fan belt, and the lady passenger’s
tights being stretched around the fan pulley wheels to enable the car to limp
to a garage.
So the modern sock has a lot to live up to. A
proud record to protect.
Because let’s not forget other roles of the
sock – One is absorbing perspiration.
The foot is among the heaviest producers
of sweat in the body, it can produce over 0.25 US pints (0.12 l) of
perspiration per day.
Socks help to absorb this sweat and draw it
to areas where air can evaporate the perspiration. In cold environments, socks
made from wool insulate the foot and decrease the risk of frostbite.
It’s incredible that in the long history of
the sock, they have always been an object of ridicule and neglect, despite
working undercover, mostly in darkness, providing comfort without appreciation.
If the cruelty to socks society did random spot checks, many
wearers would be shaking in their shoes.
So change today, and be assured that the many
benefits related in the story above, could deliver the happy outcome expressed
in the phrase below.
'Rejoice and be exceedingly clad
– err, sorry – glad’
But I don’t mind! Thank you.
