A Tangled Problem
Will someone please explain to me how it is possible that headphones, which are completely free from knots and nicely wrapped around my iPod to keep them from getting tangled, somehow magically get knots in them and are all tangled when I go to unrwrap them again later? Argh!
I've noticed the same thing happens to jewelry. I put away a necklace in my jewelry box, and the next time I take it out, about 10 other pieces of jewelry come with it, all snagged by the chain. The necklace might not even have been TOUCHING those items when I first put it in, but that doesn't seem to matter to the Law of Strange Attractions. Even more perplexing, there is an 80% chance that the necklace will have at least one knot in it, even if it had NO knots to begin with. What sort of world do we live in where this can happen??
It's a mystery of the universe on a par with why socks, when they go through the laundry, only lose one of a pair. I mean, if they are going to get lost, can't the whole pair just disappear together? Why does just one sock have to stay behind to cause confusion and consternation? I ask you.
I'm sorry. I'm in a weird mood. "June gloom" in May does it to me... grrrr.

I hear ya, I've had a sock sitting on my dresser for about a month or so then I finally through it out, only for the missing sock to then decide to turn up! I'm sure they're doing this on purpose. It happens all to much to be a co-incidence.

There are only so many socks in the universe. So, there is a secret compartment built into every dryer. It collects socks. Then when the dryer "breaks down" a person is dispatched to collect said socks in order to re-introduce them back into circulation. You only thought that those striped 70's socks came back into style, when in fact, they just came back into circulation.
