Here is a brain teaser for you the winner gets a life time of spare socks courtesy of the washing machine.

Your sock drawer contains 10 pairs of black socks and 10 pairs of white socks.
If you are allowed to take only one sock from the drawer at a time, what is the minimum number of socks you need to
take before you are guaranteed to have a pair?

Think about it carefully :)

I think the mischievous sock elves watch and wait from behind our bookshelves until we're fast asleep, then they sneak out and borrow a sock and then sneak back to their little hideout in the wall and use the socks as sleeping bags to keep their little elflings warm. But they never take 2 of the same sock.
It's against their fashion code for things to match. :p:p

Then when the baby elf grow up they sneakily return the sock in an unexpected place. They have short term memory for where they found stuff... :D

PS if anyone is wondering what to get me for Christmas, then socks (of the matching kind) will do nicely.
If they happen to be full of goodies, that will do even better. hint hint.

I found one the other day in the cleaning supply cubbord. :)
I think it hitched a ride there from the dryer with the dust cloth.
Hmmm.... a new thread maby? socks that hitch hike.

Hey what do you think to these socks - there is not much chance of putting these on the wrong way around. Maybe socks like these were
responsible for the big foot / yeti stories when they sneaked out of houses in the snow.

Actually there's a black hole in the dryer, similar to the ones in outer space. :)
I just wear mismatched socks. :)

Just in case anyone was wondering what to get me for Christmas, here is my list.

Several dozen pairs of matching socks fitted with tracker device.
A sock alarm just in case one manages to make it to the front door.
Spot lights and a big dog in case they actually make it outside.
A washing machine that is sock proof.

Ok, another mystery , yet, well you decide.
Our christmas tree has been up for a few weeks, and since it was, missing socks keep showing up in its branches. :eek:
Its all ver mysterious, and my family is not sure what to think and I wonder at it myself. :confused:
Since this has started, I have managed to rematch 12 pairs of socks. :D

We have stayed up late, in hope of solving this mystery, but so far have seen no reason why this is happening, we know only that the socks keep apearing, they also all smell piney and fresh..:eek:
another amazing event.

Im unsure as to how to explain it all, but recovering the socks is trully a step towards matching up many more and we are greatful. :)

Share your thoughts on this or have any others here having this strange happening ????


God bless

There once was a person that had two socks. One day the left sock said to the person, ", could you give me my lint inheritance?"

So the owner thought about it and decided his sock could have the lint now, and he split it evenly between them.

Very soon after the left sock received the lint, he decided that since he had so much he would move to a different sock drawer, and have some fun with it.


When he left, he left for good. He took every last thing he had and didn't plan on returning. He wanted to be a wild sock up and spend all his lint how.


So he just left. He left a big foot with five hired toes, and all the toejam he needed. He left his right sock brother, and more importantly he left

his owner who trusted him enough to give him the lint. This probably made his owner very sad and I'm sure he missed sock very very much.

While the sock was gone he spent all the lint he had right away. He didn't think to save any of it. He took wild dryer rides every day,

he bought fancy detergents, he threw wild odor eater parties and spent money on many other things that God wouldn't be happy with.

After he had spent all his lint , the drawer he was living in became very poor and they hardly had enough dryer sheets for everyone.

It was even worse for socks who had no lint because detergent became even more expensive, so it was very hard for poor socks to get washed.

The sock was in trouble. He had no lint, no drawer to live in, he had nothing to wash with, so he had to get a job. The only job he could find was

wiping furniture as a rag. He was so dirty he tried to use the furniture polish he was sprayed with, but the pledge boss caught him

and told him if he ever saw him doing that again he would lose his job, and become a garage rag.


That night as the sock was walking home his odor wouldn't stop reeking , he was so smelly . He saw some dirty clothes walking towards him

and he asked them if they could give him any detergent for the washer , but no one would give him anything.

Everyone was so poor it was hard to share with anyone.The sock went to bed smelly and holey, and when he woke up he realized something.

When he lived with his owner , even the hired toes had more toejam than they needed, and now he was stinking to death. At that moment he made a plan. He would go back to his owners s house and say to him, 'I have sinned against God and against you. I don't deserve to be called your sock , so hire me and I will work for you."

He knew that if he became like a toe on his owners foot, he would still be better off than he was right now. He would always have a warm place to stay and

detergent for wash. So he headed for his home sock drawer.



It took the sock a long time to get home, he was just hoping that his owner would let him back on his foot and let him be a hired toe.

The sock was hopping (catch the funny?) up to the foot but while he was still a long way off and he could see someone notice him and start to run towards him.

He was sure that they must have been expecting someone else, no one would be excited to smell him.

As the person got closer he realized it was his owner and he was yelling, "My sock! My sock! You are finally home!" He couldn't believe it. His owner threw his arms around him and kissed him (then made a face).

But the sock quickly said, "owner, I have sinned against God and against you. I don't deserve to be called your sock..." The sock wanted to continue

but the owner said to one of his servants, "Quick! Bring the best odor spray and put it on him. Put a sock sorter on him, place him in the wash, . Bring the fatted oxyclean and kill it.

Let's have a sock hop and celebrate because my sock was lost and is found!"

I don't know if anyone has said this, but I heard in a song once by Steve Taylor in the 1990s that stray socks go to Sock Heaven.
