Holey Socks!

Posted on the 05 November 2011 by Dailydoseofmusings @mythoughts4sure

I can't help it.  But, I find it so damn annoying when you put on socks only to find out that there's a hole at the end so big that your toe goes all the way through.
Seriously? Why can't socks rip any other place?
Better yet, why do they never rip when they're on your feet so you can throw them out and not have to go through the trouble of putting them on and then immediately having to extract your toe from the hole?
Did you know that this very problem bothered one of the world's acknowledged geniuses? Yes, it is true. Albert Einstein did not like socks with holes in them nor even the fact socks could get holes in them. So, it was that often times Einstein did not wear any! We know his reasoning as to not wearing socks because once somebody asked him why he did not wear any. Einstein's reply?

"Socks get holes in them, you know."

Mr. Einstein and I have even more in common than I previously imagined!
I have tried darning socks. I said darn, I yelled darn, I even chanted darn. But the darn sock just lay there with a hole in it.
What the heck is wrong with socks?
