Thank God for the Hosiery Association, people.

This FAQ is (unintentionally) funny. What a set of FAQ. Yes, I am sure they are FREQUENTLY asked what kind of socks we're gonna see on playgrounds this year, or how to best groove on the 80s trend.

I like how every question related to wearing hose & socks gets essentially the same gung-ho answer: "Yes, you can! It'll look great! Wear it early and often!"

Here's another shocker: When asked "My friends are having a baby. What do you suggest I get them?" the hosiery association suggests......SOCKS.

They're certainly doing their jobs.

FUN FACT: HOSIERY IS JUST A FANCY WORD FOR SOCKS

See, that was NOT a time-waster! Look what you learned.

I think the all caps FUN FACT should be a theme for the rest of the day.

YAY FOR FUN FACTS!

This is bad, I am REALLY hyper right now and if you were actually working in my office I'd be running up and down the halls yelling FUN FACT! FUN FACT!

Maybe I should start bad joke drivebys again--somethings got to get this nervous energy down.

Bad Holiday Joke Drive-by:

Why did Santa's helper kill himself?

He had low elf-esteem.

Since I read LJ backwards (newest to oldest), suddenly a lot of the shouting I've already read now makes sense.

Dear Hosiery Association:

I want to wear some sort of garment on my legs and/or feet to cover them up. What can I do?

They should have a Nobel Prize for helpfulness. The Hoseiry Association and I could share it. Them for making the website, and me for pointing you to it, naked legs.

I love the 'can I really wear fishnets at the office?' Sure, you can honey, only I don't think you actually call it an office. I believe you call it streetcorner.

[crankyasanoldma.livejournal.com]

Don't they suggest kind of easing into it by wearing high-slit skirts? I kinda skimmed that part.

I wear nude fishnets all the time, at the office or not. Other colors, not so much.

Dear Hosiery Association,

Recently I received some lovely socks as a gift. Could you tell me on which part of my body I should wear them?

Thanks for any suggestions!

[crankyasanoldma.livejournal.com]

the answer, of course, is going to involve helpfully pointing out how useful they can be on nearly any part of the body. Buy extra pairs for friends and family!

Did you know that Ft. Payne, AL is the sock capital of the world supposedly.

I bet you didn't...

Their answer to the question "Can I wear hosiery with sandals?" disturbs me. But at least they suggested that there are limits.

Okay, that was pretty funny. I liked "Is the hosiery industry producing the sheerest, most durable product it can?" No!

[crankyasanoldma.livejournal.com]

Isn't it fabulous?
