Anyone want to argue about whether I am idiosyncric or not? Good. I am.
One of the things I do not do is throw out the unmatched sock when I lose
one to the washing-machine-black-hole. After all, it is a nice sock. Another
thing I do not do is fold my socks together. This takes a lot of time. So
at the crack of afternoon (when I am dragging myself out of bed) I stick
my hand into my sock/underwear drawer and pull out the first 2 socks that
are about the same length.

Okay. this means that I have about 0% chance of getting a matched pair of
socks. It has probably been years since this event has occurred spontaneously.

Now, for some reason, I get more abuse over my socks than over any of the
rest of my appearance, which is unlikely to please any of the fashion 
conscious any of the time. I have always wondered. "Why do my socks tee
people off so much?" I mean, on alternate Thursdays when still very sleepy
I can almost image why people might conceivably think that "the clothes
make a man" but the SOCKS?

Does the fact that a lot of them are brightly striped matter?

How come it bothers my mother who will tolerate almost *anything* ??
