This made me laugh

and brought back memories.  I was watching a sitcom this evening, the Christmas program of "Modern Family".  In one scene of this episode the father who sells real estate congratulates his son on passing his real estate test and in honor passes on his old gold blazer from when he worked for Century 21. It looked like one of the original gold blazers, the 70's gold color that also showed up on houses, appliances and so much more. My C-21 boss referred to it as baby shit gold. After I had been with that franchise for a few years they modernized the color and we all had to turn in our old gold blazers and buy the new ones in, admittedly, a much better shade.  At a large national convention we all dumped our old blazers in large cardboard bins and bought the new. The company was very concerned that we  not donate our blazers to a charity like Good Will for fear someone would get their hands on one and impersonate a real estate agent. The rumor going around the convention was that all of the blazers were being bundled up and shipped to a poor village in Russia. I've had visions (nightmares?) ever since of an entire village clothed in those jackets.  Scary, right?
