My theory is all their customers' missing socks are recycled to China by
all the laundromats and resold in Walmart or dollar stores.

Or aliens are collecting them for some interesting reason.

No. The aliens are fascinated with book *matches*! Any smoker
could tell you that their matches are ALWAYS missing. It's because
the aliens come and collect them when they're not looking.

Every once in a while, you'll hear some astronomer report on
sighting some new supernova. In truth, this is really one of the
aliens' home planets going up in a giant ball of fire when
some dolt like Frodbelg or Gnifgnorf "accidentally" lights one of
the matches... without noticing all the *other* collected matches
nearby!

RIP Frodbelg.

It is for this reason that many smokers switch to using LIGHTERS -- out
of concern for all of the other Frodbelgs and Gnifgnorfs out there!

Or...

Winder how many other items I'm missing?

What's your theory?
