“ Sitting down to put socks on”
How else could it be done?
Hahahaha!
You do it by hopping comically and dangrously to and fro on one foot in total darkness, cussing up a blue streak in total panic, knocking over lamps and nearly killing yourself before your butt fortunately descends nearly by accident in a semi-controlled fall onto a bed...where sweating, you continue putting the sock on, grateful to have avoided an ambulance ride to the closest hospital and having to answer the embarrassing question: "Sir, what were you doing when you fractured your skull and broke your arm?" with the lame answer: "I was putting on my socks..."
