The missing socks form quantum-entangled pairs that partially cancel each other out.
What happens at the equator? Is that where all the missing socks go?
Ruthie: He worked for the Veep. Of course, they don't call him "Tricky" because he's a David Copperfield.
[Libby] worked for the Veep.
Oh. Yeah. The TV said that Veep guy said the Executrix Ranch is different government from where he works. All those old guys talk too much to spend time on. Wanna see me put a jelly bean up my nose?

Ruthie, is the Executrix Ranch in Texas?

Oh no, they propagate to the poles. You'll never see people wearing socks at the equator - they would tell you that it's because it's too hot to wear them, but it's really because socks can't exist there. It's only quantum tunnelling that enables them to be transported across the equator at all. And no matter how often you try, when you move a pair of socks containing a left sock and a right sock across the equator, you'll find on arrival that it has been inverted, and now contains a right sock and a left sock (assuming your luggage didn't quantum tunnel en masse to an airport 6 timezones away from your destination - that can happen sometimes.)

And what of the theoretical anti-sock? Where does one find those? At the anti-sock store? With the uncle sock?

Oh, and are we absolutely sure the right sock didn't get stuck in the other trouser leg of time before it was sent to the laundry?

I've found the best thing to do is to buy two pairs of socks and give one left sock to charity, that way I always have a spare right one.

If you exported the left socks to australia, you might be able to produce energy from the fission.
Of course, the process might require some sort of damping to prevent a runaway reaction - a critical mass might see the spontaneous emission of every left sock from the northern hemisphere to the southern, and a corresponding explosion of right socks.

My friend Eileen only wears a left sock because her right foot was eaten by piranhas (she never did get that Brownie Super Explorer badge either). What happens if she goes down under?

Anyone enjoying the rubber science of this discussion should try Robert Rankin's The Book of Ultimate Truths some time.

Would that be what produces the Northern Rights? Otherwise known as the Auroma Boursinealis.
