‘Where are my socks’? Indeed where are your socks? How many times have we all asked this question? How many times have we been asked this question? Where do all these socks really go? Look no more, you have found the answer.

One woman has told the amusing (and true) story about the day that she was vacuuming her house, and the suction on her Dyson upright vacuum cleaner was so strong, that it sucked up a sock. The real irony here is that the machine was completely unharmed. Truly remarkable.

It seems that Mr. H. H. Name has some issues of his own. Mr. Name is a bit of a cooking aficionado, and insists on nothing but the best in his kitchen. Name brand appliances and gadgets galore. Even his clothing is all designer brands. If they make it, Mr. N has it. As it turns out, The Names where entertaining very important business clients, when it happened. Mr. N was telling about his beautiful new Cuisinart food processor when he tripped over his own shoelace, and spilled dinner over his beloved Kitchenaid oven, and his guests. Needless to say, it did not end well.

Mr. Name is completely right. If the better quality item is more expensive, it is worth the cost.

Good quality will withstand the test of time. Planned obsolescence does not affect these items. Remember the old expression ‘if it is not broken, don’t fix it? Manufacturers of high quality merchandise know that people will continue to purchase from them in the future, because they have a trusted reputation.

Think about it, you can purchase a twenty dollar food processor every year or two, or you can buy a food processor for a hundred dollars that lasts for twenty years. You may buy an eighty dollar vacuum cleaner every three years or so, or you may decide on one that cost a hundred and fifty dollars every fifteen to twenty years. Simple math will show why sometimes the more expensive item is a better value. This is of course assuming that people choose quality.

So, as it turns out, although he likes to drop names, Mister H is a pretty wise man. He does not choose only names, but also top quality.

The moral of the story is this. The better quality a vacuum is, the more it sucks, and shoes and socks truly are mankind’s nemesis.
