Why In "Pairs"

[SparklyKid]

Trousers and knickers ?

I can understand socks.

I must get out more.

A pair of legs on trousers.

Another daft thought. If you sit "near" a "pear" tree , why are they spelt the same.

[Zacs-Master]

And spelt is also dinckle wheat. Funny world innit!

Someone should tell the Government that gloves come in pairs :-)

no wonder the left hand doesn't know what the right hand's doing

[bhg481]

Boxes of disposable gloves are not sold in pairs, they are sold as the total number of gloves in the box because they are not left/right handed.

You can make a spectacle of yourself, but must wear a pair of spectacles (others it's a monocle)

Why in pairs? I blame Noah.

[aelmpvw]

for some reason that eludes me 'a pair of pheasants' just doesn't sound right, hence brace

[Apc2604]

Medical gloves are sold as singles. I have a box of 100 gloves. They are not pairs they fit either hand. They came from a NHS supplier.

I lent my friend a fiver while I leant against a palm tree. Suddenly he emitted a cough and a coconut fell from a bough. It hit him on the head and he is now in hospital, comfortable but rough. He ought not to cough near a palm tree.

you still have to wear two at a time, Apc. Unless you're working single-handed, of course.
