I don't know if anybody remembers the unlucky moment Wolfowitz had in Turkey couple months ago
"February 2, 2007
Turkish manufacturers rushed to supply World Bank president Paul Wolfowitz with new socks this week after he revealed two large holes in his socks during a visit to an Ottoman-era mosque in Turkey.
'If he had bought from our high-quality socks, he would not have had such troubles. The quality of Turkish socks has been proved by the amounts we export to the EU,' said Umit Ozuren, the deputy head of the Socks Producers' Association.
The association, he added, was sending Wolfowitz 12 pairs of new socks.
Wolfowitz made headlines in Turkey at the weekend when, obeying Muslim customs, he took off his shoes as he visited the 16th-century Selimiye Mosque in the western city of Edirne, revealing two big holes on each of his grey socks with his toes peeking through.
The Washington Post asked: 'Would you accept financial aid from someone who won't spend three dollars on a new pair of socks?'"
