Respond to Jump Shifts "84 Million Missing a Year" by Marti Ronemus

It's estimated that in the UK, 84 Million socks go missing a year. The situation is so dire that Samsung commissioned a statistician and a psychologist to study the problem. (You can't make this stuff up, folks.) Here's what they found: While indeed front loading washers can occasionally eat a sock (it ends up in the innards, behind the drum), the reality is that it's lack of attention to details. When a sock is missing, it is usually under the bed, behind the dryer, in a pant leg. If a REAL search were conducted, the missing would be found.

Personally, I have a different explanation. Socks are the larval stage of coat hangers.

Today's bridge challenge involves paying attention to details. We're going to be responder and rebid after Pard makes a jump shift. When Pard makes a jump shift, he is showing a very strong hand, usually shapely, and is forcing the auction to game. Agreements on point count vary but, since it's forcing to game, it's gotta be shapely and huge.
