Smoked Socks

I've found it quite funny that the coordinator of the Mongrel Dog Show, is a lovely lady by the name of Jenny Monger! When I was initially contacted by a Mrs Monger, looking for sponsorship from Mongrel Socks, on behalf of the Mongrel Dog Show, I thought it was a joke. I can't help but be amused by the connection that can be made at times by someones name and occupation. Some times they are very appropriate and sometimes not at all fitting. Here's a few others I found amusing.......and apparently all real.
Thomas Crapper-the inventor of the flushing toilet.
Winston Paine-Dentist.
Scott Speed-Formula 1 Driver.
Daniel Webb-Web site developer.
Dr TS Slaughter-Vet
Dr Smiles-Dentist.
Here at Mongrel Socks we rely on humour to get us happily through the day. Especially when things are going pear shaped in the sock sweat shop, for one reason or another. At times Mongrel Socks really are by name and nature. Luckily, not all the time. Today is actually one of those days where we are fit and ready for work but the universe has thrown a curved ball at us. We air dry all our socks, rather than use expensive and ecologically greedy electric methods. It usually works well, except for the occasional damp, rainy days. Today, we have a bushfire close by, not at all threatening, but there is smoke every where, so.....we can't air dry, otherwise we'd end up with a new product Smoked Socks! Somehow I don't think they'd take off.
