- jaggederest 14y agoYou mean an apocryphal quote about the ease of fooling people is itself false? Say it ain't so! I'm shocked, shocked I tell you.
- lutze 14y agoThe quote isn't false per se, just wrongly attributed. That does create a sort of tragic irony I suppose, because like I said, Barnum was a pretty great guy all told (philanthropist, abolitionist...)
