The Odd Sock.
At last the phenomenon can
be explained, scientifically.
For example, only 1% of the
population are ambidextrous.
Therefore, if socks, like shoes
had a definite left and right,
the incidence of errant socks
would be a virtual unknown.
Why?
If we always wore socks on
the correct feet as we do shoes,
the wear factor would be
of a noticeable similarity.
Interchanging socks from left
to right is what causes the problem.
To put this theory into perspective,
one needs to look at gloves.
The odd glove is not near as common as
the odd sock, because of a left and right.
Therefore, 99% of the worlds population
are prone to getting socked.
Zidane and Cristiano Ronaldo, both Pede-
Dexterous, never lost a sock in their lives.
