In a shocking turn of events, committee chair, Reginald P. Bottomsworth, pulled out a worn, fuzzy sock from his pocket and began to passionately argue in its defense.
The room fell silent as the sock, adorned with a hastily scrawled "I'm with the committee" in Sharpie, was held aloft like a sacred artifact.
"This sock," declared Bottomsworth, "is more than just a piece of cloth. It's a symbol of our committee's dedication to comfort footwear."
