I've heard in a couple of places (old cowboy shows like Rawhide mostly, an RPG book) that Jasper is a nickname for someone who brings trouble or badluck ("Three Jasper's rode into town"), any thing useful on that? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.17.155.35 (talk • contribs)

Yes, in the film The Music Man, Prof. Harold Hill mentions an "out-of-town Jasper" in the song "You've Got Trouble." - Gilliam 07:51, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
