A short guy with big ears warned us this day would come, when our debt would become unmanageable.

That was a third of a century ago and the establishment laughed at him.

Who was he?

Perot. Inspector Poirot?

LOL, I went to a Cisco class in Plano years ago and the instructor told us he used to work for big ears.   He was young and got hired to run the Nortel Meridian for the EDS building.   Ross had a cute young secretary and our instructor, back then the PBX switchman, had to bring the printer logs from the previous day upstairs for Mr. Perot to review.

He dropped the stack of paper on the secretary's desk and stayed there to talk to her.   In a nervous mindless way he flipped a light switch on the wall off and on a couple of times and Ross Perot in his high pitched voice ran out of his office shouting, "we're having a brown out, we're having a brown out and ran down to the elevator.

The secretary said that was his office light switch you messed with, you better get downstairs.   He took the stairs and was there in the PBX room when Ross ran in.   They looked at the printer logs and didn't see a power alarm at all.

From then on, I could only imagine Ross Perot shouting we're at DefCon One, we're at DefCon One.
