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?

Jules Feiffer has already documented this phenomenon (http://www.shadowgallery.co.uk/commonplace/quotesm.html#socks): "Quit trifling with the laws of nature and bring the machine more socks."

Thank you for reminding me of that!
