One white foot, buy him.
Two white feet, try him.
Three white feet, look well about him.
Four white feet, go without him.
How are you keeping Cyc?My dear old dad, a Scot, used to wear shorts with long white socks doubled down just below the knee. He considered himself quite the dapper gent.

2 white socks, give him to a friend
1 white sock keep him to the end
