No, this isn't some deep, thought-provoking post regarding the White Sox of yesteryear. This is actually about black socks.
I always wondered why men, especially older men, hung out in their black dress socks. Now I know why. The simple fact is that many guys wear black socks as part of their work dress code, for church, etc. When we get home and change out of our daily work clothes, we are loathe to take off our socks. Frankly, the socks we're wearing are already "broken in" for the day - they are soft, comfortable, warm. Taking off one's socks means exposing our warmed, comfortable feet to the elements. Well, okay, maybe not the elements, but certainly the unpleasantness of taking them off only to get out another pair of socks to put on. Why bother with all that?
Instead, we change out of our stuffy clothes and leave on our comfy socks. Sorry, women of the world and children/grandchildren, but you're stuck with us and our black socks...
