Where do odd socks go??? - Page 3

Gayle · 21-09-2008, 22:02

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.

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.

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.

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.

I always knew Padiham was a strange place, then again it is almost Burnley.

In Ossy we have women to do that

You've spoiled the ending now

Incidentally - I occasionally wear odd socks if my wife is still sleeping when I'm getting ready. After all, I work alone, so who's to know? Anyway, this morning I wore her crocs on the school run and looked a bigger t*t than usual with one black sock and one black with orange toes & heel...

I don't worry about odd socks, I sneak out at night with it and put it on my neighbours washing line, let them worry about where the extra sock came from, it's much more fun.
