I know this sounds weird, but 4 yrs ago I receive a beautifully emblazoned Chicago Cubs 'Stocking'. I hung it by the upstairs fireplace with a note sticking out of it....'World Series'. Well, although it's been hanging there for years, nothing has happened since I hung it. Actually, NOTHING has happened in 104 years. Maybe I should keep mumbling, "I believe, I believe", like in the movie 'Miracle on 34th Street'.

I hung my socks up by the fire place and the next morning there was a box of foot powder in one and some laundry detergent in the other?    What does this mean?

I only wear short socks.
Can't fit much in them.

Detroit Tigers socks? Shame on you! Back in October of '45, the Tigers beat the Cubs in the World Series. Ahh, such fond memories.....the last time the Cubs were in the series.....67 YEARS AGO!
