Maybe I can make my first million by writing the world's first sock app. A diary with reminders of when to catalogue your sock drawer, aide-memoire telling you where your emergency socks are stored, pros and cons of nylon versus silk versus 'cotton-rich' for dress socks, amusing sock-related anecdotes, narrated by Peter Ustinov, details of how much sand you need for different sock sizes when you want to hit someone over the head, a calculator for converting between different international sock standards, and one for calculating how many socks to stuff in a hostage's mouth. Waterproof dog socks, tar socks for walking geese to market, an international lost sock matching service, a gallery of readers' socks, handy hints and tips for removing all sorts of sock stains. Sock pegs and clips exchange, garter auctions. There's a world of sockphernalia waiting for this app!
