Okay, let's have a show of hands! How many of you tried that thumb-in-the-roof-of-the-mouth trick even though you were sitting in front of the computer and didn't have brain-freeze.
I sure did.
As for socks ... A multiplicity of socks; of course! A covey of quail a pride of lions, a skein of geese (always liked that one) and a multiplicity of socks.
I learned the other day that a group of owls is called a "parliament". I think that is so NEAT! A parliament of owls.
But back to the socks ... you are right, of course, and your observation could have far-reaching consequences because socks naturally occur in multiplicities.
And multiplicities of socks are a direct result of the well-known Dryer Paradox, to wit: If you toss six pairs of matched socks into a dryer, when the cycle ends, you will have eleven socks,none of which match any other sock in the multiplicity.
This could be a whole unexplored dimension in the space-time continuium.
Speaking of socks ... here's a laundry survival skill that could be very useful someday. I learned it when I was young and single and ... well, I just didn't DO laundry.
If you run out of clean socks, you don't actually have to WASH a pair of socks. No, you just find some not-too-smelly socks, soak them in spray deoderant and throw them in the dryer for 10 minutes.
No muss, no fuss, and you have instant clean socks.
Cheers,
Mac
I've done this!! Just to preserve the lives of the socks ofcourse! So it is with desperate unselfishness that it is better to pursue thus: DO NOT WASH SOCKS!
High fiver on that Mac (slap)
