The Socks of Justification: A Brief History

In the dimly lit alleys of 1987, a mysterious phenomenon known as the Socks of Justification first emerged.

Rumors of these mystical footwear spread like wildfire, with some claiming they held the power to make any excuse, no matter how outlandish, seem reasonable.

The first recorded sighting was of a pair of bright pink, chunky socks, adorned with glittering silver unicorns, which were seen walking down the street, convincing a pedestrian that their cat's hairballs were, in fact, a form of avant-garde performance art.

As the legend grew, so did the demand for these enchanted socks.

However, it wasn't until 1999 that the Sock Consortium was formed, a secret society dedicated to harnessing the power of the Socks of Justification for their own nefarious purposes.

Today, the Socks of Justification remain shrouded in mystery, but their influence can be seen in the most absurd excuses we make to our spouses, children, and bosses.
