The Usual Socks

One of my socks tried to escape. It wedged itself between the dryer drum and one of the flanges that the clothes bounce off as they dry. The laundromat police found the fugitive sock and put it in a lineup.

Laundromat Police: "Do you see any sock you recognize? Take your time."

Me: "I can't be sure. It hid in the dryer and I didn't see it. Wait. Could you have Number 4 step forward?"

Laundromat Police: "No sir. It's a sock."

Me: "Well, it's either Number 1 or Number 4. I just don't know."

Lawyer (to Laundromat Police): "No positive ID. Can my client go back to the dryer now?"
