The Egress

Is this joke original?
  1. Hate as we do to admit it, no, game writer Jeff O'Neill did not invent the "This Way To The Egress" idea.
  2. 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.
