The Egress
Is this joke original?
- Hate as we do to admit it, no, game writer Jeff O'Neill did not invent
the "This Way To The Egress" idea.
- P. T. Barnum himself made it up. Faced with the problem of too many
people crowding his Midway shows, he erected this banner to lure
unsuspecting victims out of the circus. Not only did he clear the
Midway, he made more money from the resale of tickets to those suckers
who bought their way back in.
