and finally, police confirm...
criminals favour white socks!
A
police authority has published information confirming that criminals favour white
socks. In an attempt to catch a wanted criminal, Essex Police have released CCTV footage of a suspected burglar who is wearing white socks with the statement,
Man wanted for burglary at Nandos and for crimes against fashion.”
Mark Hall, of
socked.co.uk, commented, “We have long suspected that you shouldn’t trust anyone who is wearing white socks and isn’t in the gym.
“Colour psychology shows that the colour white is associated with innocence and purity, which is why it is favoured by brides and angels. Clearly, a few members of the criminal fraternity have cottoned on to this and are trying to portray themselves as innocents; however a true gentleman would never wear white socks in public.
“We would advise anyone to think twice before putting their trust in a white sock wearer."
Hall continued, “If you are reading this and panicking, think twice before you discard the white socks you are currently wearing. Be advised that going barefoot is also a tell-tale sign of criminal behaviour - we all remember the case of the ’Barefoot Bandit’ who was charged with thefts of small aircraft, a boat, two cars and the burglaries of 100 private residences which were committed whilst barefoot. It was his own footprints leaving that led to his arrest.
“To stay on the safe side, ensure you always have a sock drawer full of matching black socks.”
Socked interviewed candidates for Police Crime and Commissioner positions for their personal views on this serious matter.
Godfrey Bloom, sock wearer for 63 years and PCC candidate for Humberside, commented, “I believe white socks are fine but only for cricket or tennis. I myself have only ever worn odd socks in public once by accident and in my defence they were both black, which is my preferred colour of choice. With regards to
white sock wearing criminals, if elected I vote for capital punishment.”
Malcolm Spencer, sock wearer for 61 years and PCC candidate for Nottinghamshire, commented, “White socks are a crime against fashion and were only fashionable when worn by Olivia Newton John in Grease; needless to say the police need to pull their socks up.”
Robert Evans, PCC candidate for Surrey, commented, “I feel the police should clamp down, not so much on white socks, but on anyone wearing socks with sandals.”
Stephen Goldspink, PCC candidate for Cambridgeshire, commented, ”I do believe white socks are a crime against fashion. I have never worn odd socks in public but I nearly did when wife paired up Mr Happy and Mr Lazy in error. If only more criminals would go barefoot we could capture their toe prints and locate them.”
