That is the final line from “Fred’s Law”.

Are you Fred?

I knew Fred in NM.

My dad, a chemical & electrical engineer, claimed to have coined that phrase. Since he is now deceased I can’t ask him what year he coined it. It does seem like a phrase that could be co-coined (is that a word). However, he did testify in a lot of investigative engineering & legal cases and before legislatures as an expert witness. Everything from electronics, explosions & building failures. Some pretty big cases all over the US. came in contact with a lot of engineers who received the benifit of his humor.

Dad was shown one of the first transistors when the CIA was trying to recruit him. I didn’t think to ask him if that was before or after Roswell:)
No, Im not Fred
