probably because it belongs to the poor sod who leaves his shirt on the hard shoulder of any motorway and his underpants on the exit verge of any service station and he's the figure that you see lurching down the road, pissed as anything late at night and you know he's got miles to walk, but he'll be ok as he has his invisible beer overcoat/beer vest on - which will protect him from amongst other things:
cold
heat
frost
snow
wasp / bee stings
other drunks
cars
police
death
the wife/girlfriend/boyfriend
whoever this guy is he's a force to be reckoned with

One sock in the washing machine because... the machine ate it. 1 shoe in the road because... I don't know. I once saw 2 shoes put nicely on top of a guard rail... about 20 feet apart. So you'd be driving down the road, there's a boot... keep going, oh hey another boot! I bet the hick who drove by that day was very pleased with himself for such a great find.

Shoes like marriages are always breaking up and the one in the road gets to keep the left sock.

Its a principal in quantum physics. You see the speed of the drier drum moving in its circular motion combined with the velocity of the heated air create a localized black hole. This black hole attracts only one sock and usually of an odd color. This happens for a mear split second and can pull from a close vacinity such as the washer especially if the washer is working. You see the speed of the washer drum combined with the motion of the water mixed with the various chemicals creates a wormhole that connects to the black hole for the same instant that the black hole appears. The one shoe in the road is a reminder of this principal.

The single shoe probably came from a woman running from an evil being. The other sock is still in the hamper, clinging to it's dirty existence, wishing it was chasing the woman with only one shoe.

I have personal experience that there is such a thing as a "sock monster" that lives deep in my washing machine, that only takes one sock from all pairs. lol
And as for the shoe?? dunno i suppose if one broke you would have to chuck the other away unless you have other shoes the same at home.

Of course i know i have never seen it and i haven't got a leg to stand on, and if the shoe was on the other foot. You can call me foot loose and fancy free. However this is the right answer and points mean prizes ITS TRUE!!!!!!!!!!
