Ok, this is dumb, but it made us laugh.

This story is about 2 college seniors who went on a year long road trip to meet who they consider some of the greatest basketball coaches of all time, so many great coaching names on this list: John Wooden, Rick Pitino, Coach K, Bruce Weber, Dean Smith and more. This is what they had to say about former Purdue coach Gene Keady.

Former Purdue headman Gene Keady invited them to his place in West Lafayette, Ind. After saying they were the first strangers to come to his home, Keady warned them his wife had a .38 revolver under her pillow, “just in case.”

Ok… When Pauline and I was dating, I worked at a fine jewelry store that use to be a surplus store for over 40 years, this place was huge and had tons of shit in it, the owner was one of those guys who could turn a dime into a million dollars so he was always trying new things etc and sent his son to gemologist school and started a fine jewelry section that eventually took over the whole store. When I started to work there the jewelry and a small gun department was downstairs and the surplus was all upstairs, a very unique place.

Anyway, Gene Keady’s wife and friend came in one day while I was in the gun department and after bragging to me how rich they are, she bought a .38 from me. Of course when she handed me the $500 bill to pay for the gun, the bill “stuck” to 4 other $500 bills… I so hate when that happens…. and of course when her friend bought a $12 clip for a holster her $100 bill “stuck” to 3 or 4 other $100 bills.

So the punch line from this, something I might have sold his wife made CNNSI!

I’m famous!
