Humans continue to be easy marks for sweet deals from a flim flam person to
borrow an old phrase. PT Barnum (or whoever you believe was the originator)
got it right in the 1800's........
"There's a sucker born every minute" is a phrase often credited to P.T.
Barnum (1810 - 1891), an American showman. It is generally taken to mean
that there are (and always will be) a lot of gullible people in the world.
