Obviously, neither of you is cut out for retailing. I've been surprised that there has never been any (to my knowledge) commotion over the Gap's decision to perpetuate the deeply witless "Banana Republic" brand as the name of its most upscale stores. I personally would feel like a fool parading around with something bearing a Banana Republic tag, but then again, there is so very little about our glorious consumer marketplace that I do find congenial.
