The biggest question of mankind

Where do all these missing socks go after getting into the washing machine??? Do they enter it and then take a long journey with no return, or do they leave before even getting in?

I’m sure that this has happened to you as well. I have many single socks left back mourning for their spouse that left them stranded in my drawer. I feel sorry for them and frustrated for their rebellious other part. What is really going on?

Thought No 1

The washing machine sends them far far away to another galaxy. During the crazy, vicious spinning they get into an irregular orbit and pass into another dimension through a gateway that is hiding in every washing machine. There is a great chance that space is full of single socks that fly carefree among the stars.

Thought No 2

The washing machine sends them directly to the “world of the dead”. They may be in socks’ heaven, socks’ hell or even in another room, waiting in the reincarnation queue. This winter I bought a pair of faux leather trousers that stank so badly! I’m quite sure that this was the second life of a nasty sock.

Thought No 3

They fight with their spouse and leave. Something similar to the “Honey I’m going to buy some cigarettes and never come back”. Maybe they have some type of human relationship with each other that we don’t get. Maybe they get jealous when you mix up a different pair of black socks, they blame each other and break up because of you. Maybe I’m going nuts.

The mundane truth

The washing machine literally eats the socks. Somehow during the wash, they sneak into a secret compartment of this evil machine and stay there well hidden till you seek for them.
