Argyle Socks

A funny thing happened the other day.  I was getting dressed and reached into my sock drawer and in doing so noticed a blue colored argyle sock that I didn't recall seeing before.  I pulled the pair out and said to myself, these must have come with the last batch of dress socks I bought, and I've just never worn them before.  Cool!  I have a new pair of socks to wear! 

I put them on and proudly wore them to the church.  Later that afternoon I went to the YMCA for my workout.  I got changed in the changing room and noticed as I was taking my socks off that they weren't really new.  They were just inside out. 

I don't know why this struck me as funny but I thought to myself if I'm ever looking for a pick-me up,  a boost, which new socks can sometimes provide, just turn my old socks inside out and it will look like I've got new ones!
