A Solution to the "Flipped Socks" Embargo

It was the mind of a genius who had come up with the idea to flip socks inside out and wear them again the next day. Simple idea in hindsight, but one that reduced man's efforts by half thus increasing efficiency "two-fold", literally! Sadly, this well kept secret was revealed to the whole world by Mr. Prasoon Joshi, lyricist of Hum Tum. Since then, I think girls have always kept an eye out for guys who are wearing socks inside out and instead of appreciating their efforts to conserve manpower, which is a form of energy and even President Obama would agree that we should save energy, they have always looked at them with derision. Now, I have come up with a solution to the same problem. Why not wear one sock inside out the first time and the other one straight? Next time you can flip them both. This way, when caught, you can always say that you put on one of them the wrong way by mistake - a very believable argument, and can continue enjoying the fruits of man's genius while contributing to the environment by conserving energy! :)

P.S. I know I can never use this strategy since my girlfriend now knows but this is my sacrifice so that all you guys, who can claim that they have never read this blog, can be the lazy bums we are meant to be.
