Weird.

I seem to have discovered the location of where all my left socks went. No, really.

I have a black leather briefcase that I only brought to work when I needed to look more formal, such as for interviews, or in a suit-wearing workplace. When I don't need it, it's supposed to live in the closet. But, for the past seven months, it's been sitting, closed and locked (but not with combination on) underneath my desk. It was out of the way, so I tolerated it being there.

While cleaning today, I moved the briefcase back to its rightful place. En route, I opened it up to make sure it was empty. Do you know what I found inside?

Socks.

In this closed briefcase, there are six socks, all of which are in good condition, and match a missing sock in my sock drawer. None of them match each other.

I knew they were capable of pushing open the dryer door to escape, but I didn't know they knew how to work a briefcase push-clasp. But, now I know where to check next time one goes missing.

Is it possible someone's playing a little joke with your socks?

They had help from the wire hangers

Wow - is this a form of chaos theory? :)

Hypothesis: Someone's playing with you.

Disclaimer: I'm not sure if that someone is entirely a normal mortal.

Usually, when one finds socks in unusual places (and often in odd numbers), they're mine. I've lost socks in places I've never been, but never in a briefcase. You (and/or your socks) must be particularly talented :).
