I have borrowed a lot of socks in my time, often without returning them. I must recommend it to anyone who has never borrowed socks before, because it gives one a supreme sense of connectedness with the world. It's as though you're looking at it all through someone else's eyes. Or feet.
In fact, it reminds me of that most sacred act of worship, boko-maru. It comes from the greatest religion I have ever heard of.
