I'd like lobe able to do that with my socks. In fact, for some time I've been thinking of doing just that-renting a safe-deposit box at the bank to keep my supply of socks intact.

In any case I was known in the neighborhood as "Little One Sock," a nickname I came to One of the reasons I was glad to grow up and get a college degree was my thought that no one would dare try to steal socks from anyone that educated. But that proved to be an illusion.

Since then, through a major depression, a world war, a long boom, inumerahle riots, and travel in some .67 countries, someone or something has been rustling my socks. I believe this a world record of some kind. Do you know any other person who has had at least one sock stolen from him in 67 countries?
