I have, for many years, been conducting a highly unscientific and thoughtless study of socks. Yes, socks. Those veryday items that for all so many of us are almost indespensible. Unless of course they enter the washing machine, or are anywhere in the vacinity of my Father.
The problem of socks, I have come to conclude, can, or at least should, be addressed from at least three independant perspectives, and take acount of the broader contextualised socioeconomic implications of 'sock', as well as socks and their imigary and relivence to society of the twenty first centuary.
Initially, many have adopted incorrect hypothisises to explain th enature of sock, and sock loss throughout most of the known world of human inhabitation (not one sock has ever gone missing from Burgh St Peter, more on which later).
Well, therefore, such intrepid investigators expended vast quantities of popcorn over a large area of north Wales, which was strange, as they were ment to be investigating socks. We won't mention them again.
Symultainiously however, and in the 1980's, two teams, one based at The White Hourse (Corton) and another at the Institute for Extreme pointlesness (USA), embarked on independant studies on the nature, relivence, socioenomic and phylispophical place of socks in our lives.
Neither of these studies were completed unfortunately.
The first, suffered from a lack of funding, and also a overdose of crisp salid matterial, which was inexplicibly posted to them from a foriegn PO box.
The second team initially appeared to have more sucess, more beef burgers, and perhaps most revealingly, more pop corn than the UK consortium.
However, as is now widely acepted, the pop corn was in fact contaminanted, with a great quantity of pepper.
The following accusations and hurried arguements resulted in a small pigeon in Kings Cross station, falling down and hitting the top of the 15:12 London to Brighton train.
It also resulted in armed forces surrounding their resurch lab, and the gun fire that resulted all but knocked out the supplies of beef burgers, and perhaps most significently pop corn, the investigation into socks was haulted immediately.

so, what colour socks am i wearing?

Black.

good guess egon! unfortunately, it's the wrong answer.

orange

once again, a great guess! but unfortunately incorrect

white

White?

great minds think alike.

ur both right!

however, each sock has two thin stripes on it. what colours are they?

My first thought was purple, but I thought we might as well get the obvious ones out of the way...

Purple?

Sppok- purple and green?

ur both way way off!

spook

ps. both colours are different
