44. I've always thought they slip through a portal into another dimension.

You know, like the portal in that Twilight Zone episode "Little Girl Lost" when the parents woke up hearing their little girl's voice but could not find her. It was an invisible temporary hole that opened up in the wall behind the little girl's bed, and then the family dog disappeared into it too, and then the family's physicist friend came over and found the hole, marked off its boundaries on the wall, and held on to the little girl's father while he partially disappeared into the hole and pulled the little girl and the dog back out as the hole was closing up. There is a hole into another dimension just like that one that opens up whenever you turn your dryer on, and one or two socks always disappear into it.
