But Maude, now he’ll never have cold feet.

So this is where my in-laws used to shop. And if they have a White Blouse section it’s named after my mother.

Harold: “Sock it to me. Sock it to me. Sock it to me.”

A whap on the back of the head. “Okay. Now … settle down. Let’s buy you some socks.” … “The sooner we get home the sooner you can put them on.”

Does Harold go to the gym 48 times a year?

He can go at least a month and a half without doing a sock laundry.

He must have a big sock drawer.

That package really has socks appeal to Harold.

Yeah…you know that most of those are gonna end up as sock puppets…

I am at that stage where I check my actuary table prior to any large purchase.

Harold is thinking this will greatly ease my sock matching chores from here on out! BTW the H in RHPII stands for Harold.

Harold would be wise to take a deep breath. Those big sock packs invariable have more right than left socks. Unless you have a friend that’s lost a left foot that will buy the extras.. your sock drawer will be full of the wrong side socks.

Maude knows he doesn’t wear socks and his feet are cold and never sweat.

That place is no place for Harold…

Kewl – almost 7 weeks worth before they need washing

And shortly after that purchase, Dave discovered that the new trend was ankle-high black socks…

All “lefts”.

Remember the two dozen odd mitts you bought?
