By order of the Sock Overlord, this mandate decrees that all footwear shall be paired with a matching top half.
This edict shall be enforced with an iron fist, lest you face the wrath of the Sock Police.
Submandate 1: All single socks shall be rounded up and sent to re-education camps for Sock Rehabilitation.
Submandate 2: All sock drawers shall be equipped with Sock-O-Matic sorters, which shall be calibrated to sort socks by color, texture, and smell.
