'nuclear sockpiles'

Oh, dear! Socks probably do have a longer halflife than weapons grade plutonium.

Which somehow reminds me of this verse:

The next came in was a sock troll
Whose dress was exceedingly droll,
Whose dress was exceedingly droll,
When he joined in the jovial crew;
For he was attired in socks he'd snatched,
Argyle, stripped, and some was patched,
And not a single one did match,
When Jones's Ale was new, me boys,
When Jones's Ale was new!

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
