Didn't get as many socks as I had hoped at Christmas so went looking for a sale.
And Bingo! The Bay comes through.
Buy 2, Get 1 Free. And I needed three pairs.
Except I noticed they were in packages of 8.
I asked the clerk, "To get this sale, does this mean I have to buy 24 pairs of socks?"
He looked at me and said, "Yes."
I said, "Really....? 24 pairs?"
He looked at me again and said, this time more emphatically, "...Yes."
I should have asked him, So how's that sale going?
How often do you look in your drawer and say, "Whoa! I need 24 pairs of socks!"
Maybe if you've just gotten out of prison or you've come back from two years in the Galapagos Islands. But other than that.....
Man, I could come up with ideas like these for half of what they're paying some ad firm.

It's a special deal for the colour blind - full set of socks you can't mismatch. I speak from Paul's experience ;-) Unless you believe life is too short to worry about matching socks ;-)
