Paul Wolfowitz, the president of the World Bank, says he would free world from poverty but I suppose he forgot to take care of himself... In a recent visit he did to Turkey, Mr. Wolfowitz entered an Ottoman-era mosque in the city of Edirne, but when he took off his shoes two big holes were revealed on both his socks with his toes peeking through. [see photo below] Yes! Mr. Wolfowitz has socks with holes!

Is that an acceptable sartorial deficiency, or World Bank finances do not go so well? If these are the best pair of socks the president found in wardrobe, well I think we have found another motive to not be so friendly with World Bank.

Another unpleasant economic situation was revealed after this event in the mosque, Mr. Wolfowitz decided to buy two bracelets on a market, but he did not have enough money!

Wolfowitz was previously shown in Michael Moore documentary Fahrenheit 9/11 when he used his own saliva to style his hair, he was seen to spit on his comb before running it through his hair ahead of a television appearance.

(However, Turkish Socks Producers Association has sent 12 pairs of socks to World Bank chief after this incident)
