The Bureau of Missing Socks

Looks like this is the government department I've waited for all my life:

"The Bureau of Missing Socks is the first organization solely devoted to solving the question of what happens to missing single socks. It explores all aspects of the phenomena including the occult, conspiracy theories, and extraterrestrial.

We offer support for the matching sock deprived, and, catalog, research, index and document all extant material related to socks since the dawn of the shoe. Our audio visual department is the largest multi media center in Hollywood and several sock themed feature films, television shows, and interactive CDs are in development.

We are entirely funded by your tax dollars expedited by matching cuts in the defense, welfare, and education budgets."
