Sock it to me

Aren't socks just great? Imagine a world without socks. How sad we'd all be, imagine the misery of the children having to wear their clarks shoes sans socks? The fishermen with their boots minus socks, the priest in his sandals lacking socks. According to the net John Logie Baird invented socks which of course goes with his other small invention of the television.
I love sock shops. Places dedicated to selling these marvelous items of footery. All colours shapes and sizes. Patterned, plain or glittery. You name it they got it.
Of course there is a sock etiquette that some forget.
  • Socks with sandals. A definite fashion disaster. But still loved by nerds throughout the Cosmos
  • Knitted socks. Even if granny insists the answer is always NO
  • White knee socks once you're over 4. You can see your mother still dresses you.
  • White socks with black trainers. Very wide boy image. No go
  • Men in Winnie the Pooh socks. Yes I know Marks and Spencers sell them but that doesn't mean you have to buy them.
  • Grey socks that were once white. The washing machine disaster. Bin them
  • Socks worn in bed. NOOOOOOOOOOOO
  • Socks on whilst screwing. This contrary to popular male belief is not sexy
  • Socks down the front of your pants? We women can tell. No fooling the trained eye
  • Socks with toes. FFS think about Clazza's webbed feet. No no no no no

Love your socks. Treat them right. Treat yourself to a new pair and not just at Christmas. Socks are for life.

As the legendary George Michael once poignantly sung

"Socks are natural - socks are good

Not everybody wears them But everybody should

Socks are natural - socks are fun

Socks are best when it's....one foot in one

one in one "
