Did I mention that I'm a little compulsive? For one, I think socks age and mature in pairs if you wear them in pairs. You can also isolate that deviant pair missing one of its members. Given that I'm from Cleveland, I wear an white socks with shocking regularity. I buy a bag of six, snag my permament magic marker, and set about creating pairs. Relax, I'm harmless.
