Which Sock is Whiter?

Have you ever seen that laundry commercial where the guy has two socks on a board and one is whiter than the other one and he runs around harassing people about which one is whiter?

When I came home from the eye doctor the other day, I was telling Eric about my delightful little eye problem and that commercial came on in the background during a lull in the conversation.

Eric gives me a hug and says "Just so you know, it really is the left one that is dimmer."

"THANK YOU! I was totally just wondering that!"

And that right there is one of the many reasons why I keep him around.
