Socks Heaven

Just finished doing my laundry, and I've noticed that I lost one of my socks, again.

Have you ever wonder where are those missing socks go to?
Why was it always the one that you like the most that is gone?
Why would you only loose one of the pair?
Is it some kind of conspiracy between socks producent & washing machine producent to make us buy more of their product?

maybe, just maybe, we need to buy socks not in pairs, but in threes. So when you lost one of them, you can still enjoy them.
