Because the much more pleasurable activity is to take them off than to put them on. Bye bye shoes then socks.
Of course there are those women who can take their bra off while leaving their shirt or blouse on and pull it out through a sleeve that still kind of amazes me.

lol....Why do we call it a pair of pants when it's only one?
Why when something is transported by car is it called a shipment and when its transported by ship it's called cargo?
Why are they called apartments when they are all together?
Why do people say PIN number? doesn't PIN stand for Personal Identification Number?
Hi Todd!!!

This has always bothered me: The late, great John Stewart had, among others, the awesome song "Gold":
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPjhHcLpfr4
In it he says: "I jump into my car and I throw in my guitar..."
Uh, wouldn't it be the other way around??

Why isn’t the word phonetic spelled the way it sounds?
Why don’t we call sunny days undercast?
Why is it that when you transport something by car it's called a shipment, but when you transport something by ship it’s called cargo?
Why is there a "C" in the word yacht?

Why isn't what we do called "voice under?"

Why don't people read forum posts carefully to ensure that they're not repeating something someone else has already written? 
Sorry, Tom!
