Drew’s Greater Unified Theory

of sock replacement.


Not to try and rip lines from Andy Rooney, but…

Did you ever notice…

…that when you buy new socks, you start favoring the new ones over the old ones? You know, if you’ve got two pair in the drawer (one old, one new), you always go for the new pair. They feel better, so why not wear them if you’ve got a choice?

Better yet – why keep the old socks around at all?

Seriously, you know you don’t want to wear them, so why not toss them?

There’s no “just in case” with socks.

What are they hanging around for? What emergency use could there be?

And nobody gets sentimental over socks.

Shirts, pants, jackets – okay. Hell, maybe even underwear. But not socks. They’re just not special. So what to do?

Throw the damned things away!

For real. When you get new socks, replace all your old ones then throw them in the trash. No old sock/new sock decision to make. Just good, new socks.

Isn’t that nice? ^.^

(Okay, so it’s not an earth-shaking “rule to live by” or something like that, but it works for me.)
