Mike's Missing Sock Hypothesis

I was doing laundry this morning and ended up with one white sock and one purple sock with no mates. Upon expressing my frustration to my husband he explained his theory of a garment industry conspiracy:

When they make the socks in Chinthaikerzpakisiamistan they use permanent dye on one sock and temporary dye on the other. This way when you toss the socks in the washing machine the temporary die washes out of one of the socks leaving you with two mismatched socks. Thinking that you are now down by two usable pairs of socks you will have to go buy new socks.
