PT Barnum didn't really say it.

“PT Barnum didn’t really say it.”
And the word gullible isn’t in the dictionary. It’s not. I just looked. Check it yourself. Go on.
Thank you. GREAT article. The fact that Barnum copied the giant and then claimed he had the real one and the other guy had the fake was hilarious. The guy was a born politician.
The lyrics from the first stanza of the musical “P T Barnum” are an accurate description of not only the FB IPO buyers, but also the obamaBots:
“There is a sucker born every minute
Each time the second hand sweeps to the top
Like dandelions up they pop,
Their ears so big, their eyes so wide.
And though I feed em bonafide baloney
With no truth in it
Why you can bet Ill find some rube to buy my corn.
Cause theres a sure-as-shooting sucker born a minute,
And Im referrin to the minute you were born.”
Say what? Isn't inference a most powerful engine of thought?

I was amused and intrigued enough by your comment to the the story to find this :
Enjoy Y'all.
