![“[My brother] lived in a dry gulch where the world of socks and shoes became extremely fascinating, and he felt that everyone needs a good pair of socks, and why not limit his gift giving to something that everybody needs? He thought that there was something humorous about it. So he gives socks.” quote by Bill Murray](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/b3b/bill-murray-1709_brother_my-brother-lived-in-a-dry-gulch-where-th_3059745.jpg)
