There is nothing like losing a sock on a long range patrol. When the time comes to change socks you only have one. Gee, What am I going to do now ? I know ! Just let it go and, move on Grunt ! Now for another obscure national day.
NATIONAL LOST SOCK MEMORIAL DAY
May 9 recognizes a fun and unique holiday, National Lost Sock Memorial Day. It is time to say “good-bye” to all of the single socks, the ones where their mates have been lost to the unknown. Where do all the missing socks go? Is there a washing machine heaven? This is a question that people have been trying to solve for many centuries. An answer may never be found to this problem, and life will go on. How sad to have lost such a close-knit friend!
Of course, since before the dawn of Tupperware, inventors have attempted the prevention of such separation anxiety. Alas, if they had succeeded mismatched socks wouldn’t be popular today. And, we there wouldn’t be National Lost Sock Memorial Day.
Funny, I always thought they were lost in the hozone layer !
HOW TO OBSERVE
Now is the time to let go and move on. Clean out all of your left behind socks. Make sock puppets or recycle those old socks by reusing them as dust rags! Say your final goodbyes to your lost socks using #LostSockMemorialDay.
HISTORY
Within our research, we were unable to identify the founder of National Lost Sock Memorial Day.
Right ! I wouldn't claim this day either. Put a sock in it ! if you can find it !

It is interesting to note that the phenomena of the missing sock has been a problem since the beginning of socks, but it became acute when electric dryers were invented causing the frequency of missing socks to reach epidemic proportions.
While there is no direct evidence pointing to the dryer, there most certainly is an overwhelming preponderance of evidence to support an indictment against that evil device; or is there something else to consider here?
Investigators have concluded there exists a vortex in another dimension accessible only by the dryer. There is speculation of collusion between the manufacturers of dryers and socks where profits brought about through the purchase of replacement socks are shared with the dryer manufacturers who also maintain the existence and secrecy of said vortex.
Should it one day be discovered it will yield up an untold quantity of socks and no way to identify their owners. This of course, produces another problem - what is to be done with countless orphan socks?
One thing is certain, it will become a political issue subject to hot debate and government shutdowns.
A great post to start the day laden with puns and other good humor.
Enjoy your day Sgt. Mac!

where the lost socks REALLY go
In honor of National Lost Sock Memorial Day, I made this video about a sock with a dream come true.
Thank you, my friend SGT John " Mac " McConnell for honoring the lost socks of the world who have been abandoned by their "sock spouse" to face this cruel world in drawers by their lonesome. :-)
