"Ethics in a Nutshell", by [livejournal.com profile] davechicken, 2005-05-06:

Morality: The act of wearing socks. Thus: Moral person: One who wears socks.
Amorality: The state of one who has no socks.
Immorality: The state of one who has socks and chooses not to wear them.
Weakness of Will: The state of having socks but being too lazy to put them in the washing machine, thus ending up with no socks to wear, despite having them.

To which [livejournal.com profile] tangentialone added (in a comment):

Holier-than-thou: white socks with black sandals.

Any idea that can be condensed in a nutshell probably belongs there.

So, what about hose? Are they considered socks? How about footy pajamas? Or the toe socks that japanese kibuki players (and ninjas) wear? Are panyhose pants or socks? We extend the analogy...

Metaphysics: The act of defining what is a sock.
Politics: Government that either requires ro allows people to wear socks and prevents or tolerates when people do not.

To which we can add...

Philosophy: The gnosis of socks.
Sociology: The epistemology of socks.

I need to go back to school... ;)

Hosen, pantyhose, and tights count as socks (http://www.livejournal.com/users/davechicken/672277.html?thread=1906197#t1906197).

Not sure about footy pajamas yet.

What about the people who go out to buy more socks rather than launder the dirty ones that they have?

*snicker* Speaking as a professional philosopher (who is up to her ears in prepping ethics courses for the fall), I can see this going much further...

Kant: "It is a duty to wear socks."
Mill: "Wearing socks is of the utmost utility."
Aristotle: "A virtuous person is a sock-wearer."

okay, I'll stop now before I get really obscure...
