my friend Ruben maintains that he has never, ever, not even once, lost a single sock doing laundry.

..and you call this liar a friend!?
don't you be somebady's foo', holmes!

Sock monster lives in all basements!

it IS possible to do laundry and NOT lose a sock......they make plastic clips to keep socks together so they don't get eaten........I doubt very much that your friend is a laundry fanatic that uses one..........AND ... WASHERS DO EAT SOCKS! One time i put a piece of stocking between the washer connection and the drainage hose to see if the socks and stockings were going down the drain....sure enough I caught at least one a week for almost a month, before the stocking piece gave out.....of course they were full of nasty stuff fromt the washer.....BUT washers DO eat socks!
