In the auto business we would say: "There's an ass for every seat."

That quote is often attributed to the wrong person. It was really said by David Hannum, one of Barnum's competitors;

Actually Barnum denied ever having said that. He did, however, say something to the effect that people like being hoodwinked.

LOL! Now that you mention it, everyone born starts out as a sucker. Least wise until they get enough teeth to eat meat and start practicing on mommies nipple.

It's a strange world. The more breast exposure the better seems just fine, unless a baby is nursing it.
