Where? Seriously, Where?

Forget your Bermuda Triangle and aliens, don't worry about how the universe began or if we have souls, ignore the bigfoots (bigfeet?) and ghosts, the real question everyone should be investigating is where do the missing socks go?

Where? Seriously, where? (Did you like how I worked the title into the text? No? Fine! Keep reading. Sheesh!)

You put them both in the wash and only one comes out or you fold them together in your sock drawer and you get the same result. Why?

My guess is that we're not meant to remove that little plastic thing that keeps them together when we buy them. Sure, walking and running might be problematic if we don't remove it, but I think it's worth the sacrifice it means we don't lose anymore socks.

So, if you see me shuffling down the street, don't think I'm weird, remember that I am being smart and saving defenceless socks.
