text: where's my other sock gone? i was just putting away my laundry, and there's an odd blue sock. i've checked inside the washing-machine, and on the floor, and made sure it's not stuck to any of my other clothes, so where is it?  have any of you seen it?  is there a sock-fairy? and if so, what do they leave in return?  (and before you ask, yes, it's a gay sock. they're the only kind i wear.) you know what, that happens to so many of us.    there isn't a sock fairy at all, that's why there's nothing left once your sock has disappeared.  wanna know why...its the dryer monster.  you see, the dryer monster has to eat and he only eats socks.  this has been going on since the dryer was first made.  the manufacturers did this on purpose because women were so demanding of the new-found creation, that they no longer longed for the fresh smell of clothes drying in the breeze as it hung on the line (notice, no socks were ever missing when clothes are hung out to dry - well, spot might drag the laundry down, but he never ate the socks).  so the nasty little men thought they would fix those housewives for wanting better technology and created the monster dryer that had to eat.  they never bothered to tell any of the women.  you see, that way, the people who created socks would never go out of business.  because in the '60's, the days of hippies came to be and no one wanted to wear socks.    the dryer monster was invented for a purpose. ;)
