My Wife: “We need a new washer and dryer.”
Me: Shocked. “Why?!”
“Because they eat socks!”
“They do not!”
“How many socks have you thrown away recently?”
“I just threw a pair away last night.”
“See?!!!!” –implying a lot more than that are missing.
“They do not eat socks. Stepping on them does.”
“Maybe you, fatty.”

Upon further reflection, I see that her closing retort proves you do not need a new washer and dryer.
Next case….

Wow, ITF, do all your conversations rise to such significant and respectful dialog? This is remarkable. Teach me, O master.
You don’t need a new washer/dryer. You need a corporate credit account with Wal-mart (or other more reputable sock retailer).

I hope you were a loving thoughtful husband and made no reply to that in her present prego state ;-)

Mr. ITF did make a comment and it was to say that I was too hyper and needed to calm down so that I could get some sleep after a night on the job!

i wonder what would have happened if don imus would have said someone was fat. it sounds to me like instead of a new washer and dryer you need to send mrs. itf to oregon for a good straightening out by some bro in laws.

You think your machines eat socks now? Wait until you have nine children…. !!!!!

What an amazing coincindence. I am about to begin this evening’s task of matching the huge pile of single socks from loads over the past month or so. Tonight’s load contained two matched pair and five singles! I’m pretty excited to see how many pair I end up with!!!(These are for just two boys who usually do their own laundry and probably just put two together whether they match or not. I don’t want to look in their drawers!)

Actually, you should be very reassured that your washer and dryer are apparently functioning just as they are supposed to. Why should you have the only set in the country that doesn’t keep some things for itself? ;)Just wait, next you’ll wish that was the worst thing your dryer did to you. Monday, I had a piece of chocolate (forbidden, “sneaked” easter candy) that went through in someones jean pocket, and last month it was a green crayon!!! By lots and lots of identical, dark socks.

I agree–your washer and dryer seems to be functioning quite normally!!! I had nails go through mine last week!!! And socks!!! I agree–get a card for Walmart!!=)
