If your calves are too small then tube socks won’t stay over them for long, but if they’re too big then they’ll stretch the elastic resulting in the socks falling just like they would if your calves were too small. The only answer is to have perfectly proportioned calves for over-the-calf tube socks. By God’s good grace I happen to have perfectly sized calves. :-P

Well, then you’ll be quite the women’s head turner in the days of Middle Ages hoses and 18th century knee breeches.
Of course, all that is ruined by long pants and the women’s ability to look up at your face. :-P

My calf muscles are too big. When I quit playing soccer, I switched to ankle socks.

Our family has some really funny sock stories…
Young son screams with outrage in front of dryer…”Someone with FAT Legs wore my socks!”
During a discussion about going out and about with geeky spouses, a friend asked me if I went places with DH when he dressed in geeky fashion…my reply, “Yes, he goes with me when I dress geeky…” DH pipes up with…”I never dress geeky!” Friend and I bring up the over the calf socks that left the scene quite a few years before. DH silently leaves the room…returns equally silently… sits down with foot across leg to reveal socks jaggedly cut off a ankle…*: )

Chuck: Which is why I sadly remain single. :-(
Geoff: I generally wear ankle socks as well. But when I’m going to be outside for extended periods of time and it’s cold I try to go with the tube socks.
Nancy: Those are funny stories! I can appreciate the first one because it relates to personal experiences!

Nick: I thought you were unmarried because women don’t know what to make of that duck that’s always with you.

Chuck: Not quite. Women always want to cook the duck and naturally I can’t let that happen.

Not planning to give “Wallace and Gromit” some competition, you and the duck? Darn.
Is the duck named Nora, by any chance?

Chuck: No, his name is Nooma (ya know, like pneuma but in Robbellise).

“Nick and Nooma”
Next you need a jolly theme tune. Although the image of you and the duck having perilous action adventures in fast cuts timed to the now legendary Jerry Goldsmith trailer music to Judge Dredd is priceless.
