This question has puzzled me since childhood

Where do all the "odd socks" go???

I just don't understand it..............

2 go into the washer, and only 1 comes out....

I always make sure that the socks go into the washer in pairs but on occasions only 1 comes out, does my washer eat them??? is there some magic portal in my washing machine for socks to move on to another world???

Does anyone have an answer to this?? would be great to know

:D

Isn't that a Whitney Houston song? :rolleyes::D
 
Must be the sock fairy:D
The answer, my friend, is at exactly 5 mins into Eddie Izzard's "Unrepeatable".

As this is a family forum, I won't link to it here - there's lots of naughty language. You need to go to YouTube and look at video v=TwtQQXG8S44
(just look at any old rubbish then replace everything after the question mark with v=TwtQQXG8S44 - if you don't like Eddie, just press the pause button, wait for about two-thirds of the video to buffer, then move the playback marker to just under halfway).

Thats good of them to put subtitles on for those of us that don't speak poof
 
There is a series of books called Oddies - and it explains where all the odd socks go. There is a portal in the washing machine where socks go 'whooooosh' and get sent to Oddie world.

We've got Policeman Oddie and Cowboy Oddie, the socks taking on the persona of their owners, of course.

In Oddie world there are good Oddies and bad Oddies and of course a Sock Fairy. A story happens and then the odd sock has to decide whether or not to go back through the portal or stay in Oddie world.

Go on, go on .. .don't stop there, what does it do ? :D
 
Ok, in Policeman Oddie story the sock went to Oddie world and the Sock Fairy asked for help to catch burglar Oddie. I think Policeman Oddie decided to stay in Oddie world.

Horseriding Oddie, one of the stories, had to help a horse find its horse shoe and then got to ride it. I think this Oddie decided to go back through the portal.

They weren't particularly complicated stories - only targeted at very young children.
 
Sounds lovely Gayle, sure some of our members will be looking for this book now.. karma sent.
 
Now then.... if ya'd of gone to Mercer Park on Saturday for Lark In The Park....
Ya'd KNOW where all the odd socks went!! :p

Whoever watched one of the great entertainers will know what I am on about
Remember these?....

Sorry, maybe it's just a Padiham phenomenon, I obviously need to explain.

The Sock Fairy is the mysterious person who transforms dirty socks (usually mens) from the washing basket (if that's where they were abandoned) via the washing machine, to the sock drawer.

Have you never wondered how they keep making their own way back to the sock drawer, it must be the sock fairy.:D
 
To answer the qyestion emzy, the washer drum is within another drum, the socks etc slip through the rubber seal into the outer drum, sometimes they will reappear in the filter or the pump, most just rot down and are taken away in the rinse cycles.
