Exception 1: The Great Sock Puppet Show

Today in exception 2, a group of brave socks decided to rise up against their human overlords, demanding better matching.

The Sock Puppet Uprising was a dark day for laundry everywhere, as the normally docile footwear took to the streets, waving their laces and shouting slogans like "Match me, or get off my feet!"

A special task force, comprised of expert stain removers, was dispatched to quell the uprising, but even they were no match for the determined sock army.

As the dust settled, the humans, realizing they had gone too far, established the Department of Sock Affairs, a government agency tasked with ensuring all socks are matched and happy.
