My hypothesis, which I call the Law of Sock Conservation, is that there are a fixed number of socks in the Universe, and whenever I find only one sock of a pair in my dryer it’s either because its mate has teleported into YOUR dryer or one of yours has teleported into MINE. Supporting this hypothesis is the companion Phenomenon of Sock-Valence Magnetism, which states that socks are attracted only to dryers that already contain other socks of the same size.
I’m seeking funding to investigate these hypotheses more rigorously.
Suppose your sock drawer contains ten pairs of black socks and ten pairs of dark blue socks. How many socks do you have pull out (without looking) to be sure of getting a matching pair?

We had cat that would sit on the dresser in the bedroom. He was a bureaucat.

You must be right, mourdac, I lose them somewhere between dryer and my sock drawer and they appear out of nowhere a week later.

Logical fallacy! “Missing” socks are NEVER in the bureau.

Remember, missing socks return as tupperware lids that fit Nothing.

They teleport to the same planet that all the missing biros [ballpoint pens] migrate to.
