that's going to be a specialized repair

[cellio]

When I did laundry a few days ago, I found a sock in the dryer that belongs to neither of us. I'm going to assume that no one broke into our house to do laundry, so that points strongly to another theory.

For the longest time I assumed that dryers ate socks (and sometimes expelled them as lint). But no! My dryer is apparently a sock transporter! But if so, the balance is way out of whack; I've lost many socks, but I believe this is the first deposit.

What kind of a repairman fixes that?

The Great Sock Artiste

Another possibility: perhaps your dryer is possessed by the spirit of a sock artist who disassembles other socks, taking only the choicest bits of lint in an effort to create the occasional sock that is more in line with this spirit's artistic vision. Then, when you least expect it, in an avant-garde sleight-of-hand, your everyday functional socks are replaced with something a bit more abstract, causing you to contemplate the nature of socks and their intersection with art and form vis-a-vis the everyday act of drying your laundry.
