The common humble-head inevitably encounters a full range of female socks as he goes about his humble, daily business – from long, domineering socks; to short and frilly flirtatious socks; to modesty-preserving anklesocks. And the long and the short of it is that he must respect and admire every single stitch, every crease, every speck of dust and every footsweat molecule in each and every one of the socks that his face encounters, since these socks are the chosen, intimate footwear of his customers and betters.
