Brain stimulation

In the office.
And on the beach

The web magazine for top managers - who's promoted, who came, who left? And what to do when you're not in the office.

After one long "Whaaay?" and one short discussion I concluded that if I fail on the internet field one bright lawyer's carrier is secured for me.

And all started with a discussion why to write about socks. "Did our readers have prostate problems?", I asked. "I don't think so wide", he answered. "Did they have memory problems?" "Still too wide." "We wrote about all this, without you asking me why", I said. Like in a war, in sock topic everything is allowed and I asked the last question: "Did our readers go to a toilette regularly?"

Eyes wide open and "?!" is all what I got. "Well, we will write about this, once." After I recall him to one situation, not so long ago, and mentioned the title of the article, he said: "Now, you are frightening me." I rest my case.

The fact that sock theme will not give me the glory didn't stopped my will and ambition to write about it. After some serious researching I concluded something we all actually know. Wrong choice of sock can ruin all our efforts to look nice, duly or abundantly. Former president of the World Bank Paul Wolfowitz abased himself while visiting mosque in Turkey, in January 2007.

Cameras caught his hole in a sock while taking off his shoes to entering the mosque. Although that visit was probably polite political gesture, less a religious one, after he saw his thumb picking out his socks his brain probably said "goodbye" to him. Can you imagine his efforts to talk with mosque leaders seriously after that incident?

My research pull out on the light of the day probably the greatest mystery of human kind - the mystery of missing sock. To reinforce this statement I found a website that deals with this phenomenon.

On The Bureau of Missing Socks, this is the name of the site, you can read about theories of missing sock, even couple your missing sock with someone else's also missing sock. If you don't have that problem, but you are aware of its global nature, you can discuss with other visitors about black hole theory or some other-dimension theory which swallowed missing objects.

On other side, if you are so despaired to find your sock you can advertise it with full description. In the meantime one sock is found so I downloaded its description, maybe you will recognize it as yours: Colour: dark blue; Type: left foot; Size: 44 (European size); Wounds: Needs a few stitches and knitting; Found in Brussels, Belgium.

I try to remember what I see on the internet connected with sock... One German named Alzheimer visited my working place, obviously, but he didn't find milk and cookies or whatever that German eat, because I remembered, and found, to be more proud. Swiss company GoldVish in 2006 designed the world's most expensive mobile phone that even found its place in the Guinness Book of Records. GoldVish Limited Edition jewel solid gold mobile phone in a shape of sock (you see?) costs one million euros. Why they chose sock shape I don't know. Probably, my dear non believing partner, because sock is one important part of perfect looking businessman.

Since I like history subject I must supply you with at least one history data. Scientists found early wool Peruvian textile remains from 900 BC to 600 AC. In Egypt's tombs scientists found remains of socks for sandals made by knotting from 4th century.

Conclusion? Socks are important. If they are soft without annoying little knots and fat edges, for good brain stimulation and successful working day all you need is a good pair of socks. Let it be of cashmere, let your fingers sing "Hallelujah!" without the shame.
