**The Mystery:**
Every morning, after the washing machine has been run, there are never any socks to be found in the dryer. It's as if they've vanished into thin air!
**Suspects:**
- **The Sock Goblins:** Mischievous creatures known to pilfer socks in the dead of night.
- **The Sock-Eating Monsters of the Lost Sock Society:** Fearsome beasts with an insatiable appetite for lone socks.
- **The Great Puzzlemaker's own Sock-Sniffing Ape:** A creature so enamored with the aroma of fresh socks, it will stop at nothing to claim them all.
**Theories:**
- **The Sock-Sucking Theory:** Perhaps the Sock Goblins are not just stealing the socks, but actually absorbing their essence, leaving behind only the faint scent of despair.
- **The Sock-Vortex Theory:** The dryer is a portal to another dimension, and our socks have been sucked into a parallel universe where the fabric of reality is woven from the very fabric itself.
- **The Great Puzzlemaker's Theory:** It's a clever ruse by my own sock-sniffing ape to keep me from solving the puzzle of the missing socks in my own sock drawer.
**Next Steps:**
- Investigate the Sock Goblins' lair for clues.
- Conduct an experiment to test the Sock-Vortex Theory.
- Confront the Great Puzzlemaker's Ape with a stern lecture and a healthy dose of skepticism.
