This thread reminds me of a story that they tell at Okie St.

Our mascot is the original Pistol Pete (Frank Eaton). He only lived about 10 miles from the University. He was a cowboy and lawman in his early years. Periodically a professor would ask him to come and speak at a class. Frank always wore his .45 Colt on his hip. Once a young college student asked him if it was loaded. Frank promptly shot the clock on the back wall and told the student, "It wouldn't do me any good if it wasn't."
