<Snipped quote by Charley>
When my children were young, I kept a box in the hall closet with a label that read, "[i][b]Sad Sock Box."[/b][/i] Every weekend I would  look in the box to see if I found a mate or add to it socks that did not have a mate. The kids are all teens now.

Well now we need to know how many socks are in the box.
