Where do socks go that disappear in the laundry?

Question: Where do socks go that disappear in the laundry!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

They go to the land of twilight where the cobwebs rise in the evening and fall in the morning they suffer no consequences for this!. It is their Nirvana!. It is the heaven they were promised during their pilgrimage here in the world of households!.
All go to this Nirvana where Mc Gregor socks may lay side by side with Calvin Cline socks and the nylon shall lay with the cotton!. It is a safe haven for them to sneak past you in silent camouflage right before your eyes!. You will see them but not recognize them!. You will know they are there but will be helpless to do anything about it!. They will mock you as they mock me and my wife!. My dad and my mother!. We all suffer the same indignities at the hands of these cursed socks!.
They run rampant in the netherworld of spider webs and belly button lint, they walk softly with no stick through the lint traps of all dryers with impunity!.
These socks are patient with the world whilst we humans discard their partners in heaps of rags and offal; they wait for their partners to come into the mystic world of sock paradise!. We can never go there, only the odd sock and we can never find it; but the socks of the world know where it is and they do find it despite our valiant attempts to keep them locked up in the drawer!. They escape with snickers and snide remarks spat behind them to cover their tracks and befuddle us mortals!.
Where do they go!?
Oh but for an impossible glimpse into that unkown so that we may understand!. But I fear it is beyond the likes of you and I; and I fear we will never see the bright side of sock Nirvana!. We will never gaze unto the sublime intertwining of rayon and silk, cotton and wool!.
No!.
Not now, not ever!. We are the sockfidels and we have no place in where the laundry socks go!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.
I greive for you!. I have sympathy for you, but I have no answers for your cosmic quest and question!.
Sorry!.
Please accept my most humble apologies for my inept answer but know that I have answered witht the poorest intentions of a sockfidel in bondage to the laundry queen!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Socks which disappear in the laundry end up at your local water treatment plant!. You heard the expression ``what goes around, comes around``, well!.!.!.!.!.!.some part of them ends up in someone`s drinking water!.

That is not so outrageous considering that someday someone may be using parts of your decomposed body as fuel for their car just like I did today with some ancestors` of ours!.

the heat from the dryer is actually fire from the dragon that resides inside the drier which is actually a cave,

and those socks not strong enough to brave its wrath are vaporized, the same goes for loose change, the dragon eats it

That depends!.

Some socks end up on the floor and get kicked under something!.

Some socks (if the dryer is big enough and the sock is small enough) may end up in the lint drawer!.

Some washing machines have a 'lip' that socks get caught in!.

And--no lie--some socks really are eaten by the dryer monster!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

i have found that sometimes they never made it in, are still in the washer or dryer, or have found their way into another piece of clothes and are hiding!. (like in the sleeve of a shirt)Www@QuestionHome@Com
