I Have Gremlins

Last night I take my USB drive out of my pocket and plug it in to the computer to copy a file.  I pull it out and can't find the cap.  I didn't move from my seat the whole time and I have checked the whole room and not just the arms reach that it should have been in. 

This morning I pull a pair of socks out of my drawer and realize that they have seen better days and I am going to throw them away.  I walk into the living room and realize that I am now only holding one sock.  I retraced my path and looked under the bed, and still, no sock to be seen. 

I mean it is possible that I ate the cap without realizing it.  I think I would have choked on the sock.

I was waiting for you to say that the USB cap was *in* the sock. That would have been awesome.

Remember, no food after midnight. And keep them away from water.I think you should begin mourning for the sock. Statistical analysis shows that after 2 hours of them being reported as missing, the likelihood of their survival and eventual recovery drops to 10%.

I was going to throw it away so maybe it made a run for it.

no, that would have been super spooky.
