When I was a kid, I used to watch the Mike Douglas Show (I'm old). One time, he had a guy on who supposedly discovered the family coat of arms for people. The guy brought framed coats of arms for everyone on the show, including not just Douglas but also a black vocalist (I think it might have been Shirley Bassey). I was like all of 12, but even I knew how awkward that was. I guess I'm saying it seems more people don't know than do.
