PSYCHIC ASTRAL PROJECTION OF A SOCK
This is the only film in the world of the actual, paranormal, astral
projection of a sock during a drying cycle. It is only now being
investigated by the Bureau's Para-sockchologists. Residents of a
Westside, New York apartment building report that instead of loosing
socks, a dryer in their building actually returns more then they put in.
The sock you see being rematerialized it highly radio active and traced to
a laundry in Chernobyl . Socks found in the device have origins as diverse
as France, Japan, California, and the State of Washington. A sock that
disappeared in London took twenty years to make the journey to San Jose
California.
THE ELVIS SOCK
NAME: Grace Land
The only one of its kind in the world. The mate disappeared in 1973.
Custom made in London by the eminent firm of Clove and Daily it is not
one of two he wore while wearing blue suede shoes. A size ten of
impeachable quality.
THE HOFFA SOCK
NAME: Teamsterino
An identical match to the only burgundy-brown pair owned by the labor
leader, it was discovered by scuba divers sticking out of the a cement
block in the Detroit river. Unique in its own way, because it was one of
the first thigh high rayon's made in Communist China for export to the
west, it was traced back to the store the labor leader purchased a similar
pair in and matches exactly one found under the radiator in his bedroom.
CHEER LEADER - CIRCA '72
NAME: Bright Chicago
Only one can be shown because it's sister is at the Tate Gallery in
London. It was unearthed by an urban archaeologist during the renovation
of a school gymnasium in high school in Addison, Illinois. Lost to view
behind a locker in the girl's dressing room for over thirty years this
find has excited the whole staff. A sock with a similar history, J. C. Penny Sports
123NX, was recently auctioned in Paris for $38,000 U.S. dollars.
