They're having cord sex...............

I'm not sure if I'm the only person experiencing this phenomenon, so here we go.

To date, I own over 2 dozen extension cords. Green ones, biege ones, brown ones, cream coloured ones, extension cords with slim-line plugs that don't use up much depth coming away from the wall. I have no explanation for why I own this many. I do recall that during the act of buying the cords, I felt a genuine need to buy them. Not from some compulsive desire to own more extension cords, I just had the feeling that we did not have enough at home.

Which begs the question, if I was under the impression that I was lacking in the extension cord department, then was I consciously ignoring the other 12+ cords that were already taking up residence at my house? Were they hiding? How do you own over a dozen of something and not be aware of it, in fact be of the mind set that you are so short of the item that you must buy more?

I smell a conspiracy.......
