I am convinced there is a sock conspiracy. When looking for a black sock, you'll find a white one. When looking for a match, you'll find many socks that don't match at all. The trick is to look for black socks when you want white ones.

Come to think of it, it may be clothes in general. Try this: when you want to find a perfect pair of socks, simply look for your underwear.

What does this suggest for the way the universe works? This is most likely a subset of a universal function of the natural order of things. Whatever that means.
