Unless it’s the weekend. Then I’m pretty much this guy.
Sock, sock, shoe, shoe (r, l, r, l)
Except this morning I went sock, shoe, sock, shoe. As I was doing it, I was thinking of how strange it was. I almost took them off and started over. Then got to work and read this post. How is it all related? I have not idea!
Mike was putting on his socks & shoes sock-shoe-sock-shoe. Archie pointed out that this was wrong; if the house caught fire halfway through and he had to run out in the cold, he’d have both socks on and his feet would stay warm. Mike countered that if it was raining, Mike could hop on one shoed foot and stay dry.
So, putting them on sock-sock-shoe-shoe wouldn’t annoy Archie; that’s just what he wants you to do!
I confess I have not seen this show since it originally aired in the 70s, and ask that you please excuse an imperfect memory. I shall now stand proudly as someone who shares some of the opinions of Archie Bunker (at least when it comes to donning footwear).
Despite my error, this was one of the few sitcom moments from my childhood that made a (somewhat) lasting impression. Others would include Felix Unger’s courtroom explanation of why we should never assume anything, and Jim Ignatowski asking about the meaning of yellow traffic signals.
I’m curious about all the other things y’all say you put on tho… what are these “pants” I keep reading about?
You are so right about that. And they’re black knee socks, too. (Sorry for the visual.)
We were playing Outburst at a family reunion and the answer was “underwear”, but you couldn’t say boxer, briefs, etc. He just looked at me at said, “After socks.” I laughed so hard I cried and then had to explain to all the cousins DeHusband’s odd dressing habits. He’s still a bit miffed with me.
Underwear, bottom garment, top garment, left sock, right sock, left shoe, right shoe. I am amused by people who put on their socks before their other clothes. I do arrange my hair while I still have my bathrobe on, though.
I never, NEVER, wear anything on my feet at home, so just before I leave the house, it’s sock-sock-shoe-shoe. Then as soon as I get home, it’s shoe-shoe-sock-sock.
My ex, by the way, was suck-suck, so-so. Which only begins to explain why he’s my ex.
