Maria Love the idea. My silly story happened 58 yrs ago. Newly married and in an apartment I needed something from the cabinet above the fridge. Being very short I climbed on a chair to the counter to the top of the fridge and got what I needed. Unfortunately I couldn’t get down as easily. My husband came home and couldn’t find me. I was sitting on top of the fridge.I said come and find me I’m playing hide and seek. It took him about 5 min of searching with my saying you’re getting warmer or colder. We still laugh about it!

The Case of the Vanishing Socks
Every morning, Jerry woke up to find that he was missing a sock. It didn't matter how carefully he organized them the night before, one sock always vanished into thin air by morning. Frustrated and baffled, Jerry decided to investigate. He set up a hidden camera in his room, determined to catch the sock thief in the act. To his surprise, the culprit turned out to be none other than his mischievous pet parrot, Charlie. The camera revealed Charlie's stealthy technique of grabbing a sock with his beak and flying away to hide it in various corners of the house. Jerry couldn't help but laugh at his feathered friend's sock-stealing antics, and from that day forward, he made sure to keep his socks safely stored away from Charlie's prying beak.

I'm so happy it was Charlie. If this was happening in my house, he socks would be lost forever (l0l).

A letter of complaint I was asked to write few years ago on any subject so picked socks.

Dear Sir / Madam,
I am writing with regards to the purchase of a pack of 7 pairs of novelty socks with the day’s Sunday to Saturday printed on them in matching colours so we were led to believe. The socks were bought from your store in Leeds on the 17/8/2023.

My wife bought the said socks as a birthday present for myself as it is what I love receiving everach year. Christmas just gone I received a set of Marvel Action Figure ones. Sadly the fun my wife thought I would have wearing never materialized as all I heard from friends and family was Get down from there you’ll hurt yourself which I duly did. As when I leaned forward on the dresser shouting I’m Thor. I did land on the bed but bounced / rolled off, crashing into a heavy set Chest of Drawers but I digress, so now back to the problem at foot.

My wife opened the pack of socks and then began to pass me a pair to roll together and put away. My thoughts began to drift but quickly brought back due to an almighty terrified scream. Initially my first thought was has she seen my Internet history but no it was a far more troubling scenario as the day Thursday was a different colour on each sock and to make things worse the colours were Red and Green I have to relate to you that at his stage my wife fainted and I became nauseous but nothing to do the previous night’s meal “Stags Dynamite Chili” with rice.
I started to attend to my wife who had luckily fell head first into the socks upon fainting. Without smelling salts to help bring her round I used the socks I was wearing and they did the trick. You’ll be pleased / Relieved to hear she is feeling much better after spending a couple of hours at our local B and Q colour matching centre.

So now I have the problem of what socks to wear on a Thursday and please don’t insult my intelligence and suggest I make do or mix and match as this is a very important issue to me and my wife. I myself am a very easy going person but if I’m supposed to have matching socks I want matching socks. Imagine if I get rushed to hospital on a Thursday and they have to remove my trousers and see me wearing socks with Thursday on my socks in different colours or even worse will be a laughing stock. Is it too much to ask in this day and age to have matching socks.

My apologies for taking this tone but Red and Green ....... give me a second to compose myself .....sorry but this is sill a very raw and emotive issue. I have enclosed the non-matching socks for your perusal. I understand you may want to launch a Major Investigation into this but I hope there are no repercussions for anyone as even though this has been a traumatic experience for myself and my wife we did like the style of font.
Yours Sincerely
MDS

Love the idea.
A man told me this story & I am an image person. Everytime I thought about it & see the image I laughed so hard my back was killing me & tears running down my face. After a long time my husband turned & said to me “ what the hell is wrong with you” & that made me laugh like a crazy person.

Now the story.
This man told a story from his youth about 10 yrs old. He used to ride his bike to the show on Saturdays & this afternoon the show was showing a double feature. To his horror it was scary movies & when they were over it was dark. He was so scared he got on his old bike & peddled as fast as his little legs could peddle & he kept looking behind him to see if a Werwolf or Frankenstein was running to catch him. I can see him peddling as fast as he could & continuing to look behind him to see if scary people was close to catching him.

I love it! Thanks for the laugh and that image. If I don't sleep tonight I'll know why lol.
