but one of those that never get rusty
In
2007 during an official trip to Turkey, Paul Wolfowitz, President of
the World Bank, wearing a slick executive suit visited the historic
Ottoman era Selimiye Mosque in Edirne, western Turkey. According to
tradition he slipped off his shoes before entering the mosque, showing
two large holes in both his socks and his big toes sticking out for some
fresh air. There was a few moments of pensive silence; then the world's most powerful CEO began walking ahead placidly and his hosts
followed. Soon after, the Turkish Hosiery Manufacturers' Association
sent 12 pairs of
socks to Paul Wolfowitz, perhaps also hoping to demonstrate its
quality products to the World Bank President. Fairy tale by Hans
Christian Anderson tells about Emperor's new clothes. This one is about
the World Bank emperor's new socks .... and it isn't a fairy tale!
