Give Me the Socks
When I was a poor college student, I refused to buy more socks when I was running dangerously low. Therefore, when the holiday season arrived, and people inquired as to what I wanted, I requested nothing more than a new pair of socks. And they came through like gangbusters. That’s the most socks I’ve ever had at once, too. Some of the pairs I believe I still have some.
All of this is to say that, despite appearances, I don’t find this one all that strange. It’s possible the guy had an unusual preoccupation with socks, but it’s also quite feasible that he simply acquired a large number of socks through some means and decided to keep them until they wore out.
