Perhaps he should also get his suit cleaned! I also have a tip for him - cut your toenails more often

Come on guys!

The man isn't an ordinary man like us. He isn't thinking of what he will eat for lunch or dinner, or which club to go at night,or fooling online on TC.
The guy's mind is very busy with how he could help those in need in the world. He might not have noticed the holes on his socks while putting them on in the morning.

We have a saying in Turkish: Başına çorap örmek / to get someone into trouble.

Adam dünyanın başına çorap örmekle meşgul. Kendi çoraplarındaki delikleri görmeye vakti mi var sanki.

But he is an ordinary guy, doing an extraordinary job. We are all ordinary people but it depends on what you do with your life which makes you different.

No? Than he IS silly, because you feel when your toes are popping out of your socks. And besides, he probably has staff enough to arrange his clothing or at least a secretary who reminds him of rules at places he'll go to, as putting off your shoes in a mosque!

It was on the news here as well but I wasn't paying attention it until they mentioned Turkey. They didn't talk about what he was doing in Turkey at all, just that he had holes in his socks The news ticker said "President of the Worldbank visits mosque in Turkey... with holes in his socks" lol

Anyway, it just shows that even though he's stinking rich, he's still an ordinary person. Although personally I throw socks away if they have holes because it makes me crazy lol

Perhaps someone forgot their pants or even worse, had a hole in them or maybe got arrested and had to go to the police station and underwent a strip search, only to reveal no pants or holes in pants, or even worse had sock suspenders......... sorry I am getting carried way now with 13th January
