The Bob Smith Sock Folding Method
Warning: Do not attempt to fold your socks using the Bob Smith Sock Folding Method unless you are a highly trained, highly caffeinated professional.
Bob Smith, renowned sock folding expert and local legend, has graciously shared his patented technique with us. But be warned: this method is NOT for the faint of heart.
The Method:
- Start by sorting your socks into piles based on their color, pattern, and level of desperation.
- Next, locate the largest, most intimidating sock in each pile and fold it into a perfect rectangle.
- Place the folded sock on the floor, and using a combination of brute force and prayer, force it into submission.
- Rinse the sock with a gentle stream of coffee, and then fold it into a perfect square.
- Repeat steps 2-4 until all socks have been folded and your laundry room resembles a war zone.
