In our house, it's a running joke that if we can\u2019t find something important, it\u2019s probably in my husband\u2019s sock drawer!\xa0 He\u2019s not alone. Millions of men hide valuables in their sock drawers and thieves (also known as priggers and jackrollers) know it!

The word sock comes from the Latin word \u2018soccus\u2019, meaning a loose-fitting slipper worn by Roman comedy actors on stage. Did you know that 82% of young American men wear mismatched socks at least once a week? The Aussies call socks the walk-a-bouts because they get lost and can\u2019t be found! In China, the city of Datang has come to be known as \u2018Sock City\u2019, thanks to its status as the world\u2019s top sock producing region. It is estimated that Datang manufactures enough socks to supply every person on the planet with two pairs each. That\u2019s an awful lot of socks!

A Wangdoodle is a person who tosses things around while searching for something, such as matching socks. Ask me how I know!
