Dish Receives Striped Signal

The largest radio dish turned its face to the sky and caught a single sock. It was striped blue and white, still warm from the dryer. Astronomers logged the event as an unidentified falling object and filed the sock under miscellaneous. It sits now in a drawer beside calibration charts, waiting for its match to fall.
