There is a global mystery that has puzzled humanity for centuries. No, it’s not the meaning of life or why Wi-Fi stops working when you need it the most. It’s something much more sinister… the case of the missing sock.
The Great Vanishing Act
You put two socks in the washing machine. You take out one. Where did the other one go? Did it decide to run away and start a new life? Did it get sucked into an alternate dimension where all lost things end up? Or is there a secret society of single socks plotting against us?
At this point, I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a Sock Bermuda Triangle hidden inside my washing machine.
The Lonely Survivors
The worst part? The surviving sock just sits there, judging you. Mocking you. It knows it will never be worn again, doomed to a life of mismatched despair. And yet, you can’t bring yourself to throw it away because maybe, just maybe, the lost sock will return one day.
(Newsflash: It won’t.)
The Possible Culprits
- The Washing Machine Monster – That tiny gap in the drum? A sock graveyard.
- Time Travel – Your sock is probably in the future, laughing at you.
- Greedy Goblins – Who else is taking them? The dryer? Please.
- Your Pet – Don’t trust your dog. He looks innocent, but he’s been collecting them.
The Ultimate Solution?
At this point, we need an FBI task force dedicated to sock retrieval. Until then, mismatched socks are the new trend. If anyone asks, just say it’s “fashion.”
Or better yet—stop wearing socks.
