Ok you cannot just say "1 hole". Is it 1 topological hole (aka the thing is a tube), or just 1 hole as the common sense definition (aka the thing is a sock)

Typically we say 3 holes. But that's because we talking about yo mama

Fair enough.

However, your dad is a tube

Does this mean that tube socks are not, in fact, tubes?

If there is a second hole in the sock, does that change things?

I have a lot to consider now.
