Yep - classic case of a short somewhere.

If you can't control your ferret - PLEASE, PLEASE mark your gorilla ports.

Should bigjohn ever visit - it could present a problem. Aside from being a known "cone toucher", he has been known to insert assorted body parts (don't ask) into the gorilla ports. It would be unfortunate for him to encounter the toothy end of a ferret cornered in the speaker.
