The space warp produced by a spinning dryer, combined with the intense heat, opens an interdimensional portal through which alien beings reach in and 'mine' for socks. Other alien races are subjugated by these beings and forced to work in the 'sock mines'. Occasionally, a subjugated alien miner falls through the portal, and this explains why weird people are often found near laundromats. The Inter- Dimensional Police are powerless, since Reagan will not sign a treaty with them to extradite the aliens to the other dimension. This is why they must work undercover to find these escapees on our planet. This is extremely difficult, since they must repeatedly go back to the laundromat to put dimes in the dryer (otherwise the interdimensional portal is sealed up). Got it? (People claim that they never lose a complete matched pair of socks in such interdimensional transactions, only unmatched pairs. But then, how would you know if a matched pair was lost, if you didn't find a sock that didn't have a match?) (HUH?) Rich Rosen -----------
