Mail-In Sock Repair

At this point, half of my favorite socks have holes in them. I am
attached. Yet lazy. Imagine if I could mail in my socks in an envelope
and they would be returned to me by mail [along with an additional
prepaid envelope a la Netflix] all shiny and repaired.

You would store your payment info on the company's website (let's call
it MagicSockRepair.com?) so you wold just be charged a small fee
whenever they repaired your socks. Naturally, when you visited the
site (e.g. to sign up or get a status update) you would be tempted to
buy other super great socks.

This has huge $ making potential. And what a boon to quality of life.
Think of all those poor socks in need of repair.

And there is a spin-off idea too. All those single socks (BTW, how is
it possible to lose so many single socks?) you love and can never find
the set again. Well, how about a mail in service where you send in the
single sock and they will duplicate it and send you back a complete
pair. We could call that: YouCompleteMe.com or
SocksAMansBestFriend.com.
