I imagine everyone has had something like that happen to them.
A fellow that used to be in our club showed up to hunting camp and he had brought everything he needed with him, except gun powder. His horn was bone dry, not a grain to be seen. Somehow or another, he wound up with the moniker, Empty Horn. So, being the cool sort of guy he is, he embraced the name. When signing his name to something, he would sign - E. Horn. Darn, but I miss all those guys, shooting and rendezvousing with them. It was a lot of fun.
