ORIGINAL: fetisheden p.t. barnum was a genius! P T Barnum once famously (and factually) was asked by a reporter from the Saturday Evening Post (the USA Today of its time): "Mr Barnum, does it bother you that people think you weigh down the milk bottles with lead, that the bearded lady is really nothing more than a slight man who shaves one side of his face, grows his hair long on the same side and wears makeup and a dress on one side and not the other, that you hire pickpockets to work the circus and that the hammer slam to ring the bell is worked by nothing more than a switch?" Mr Barnum replied: "Madam, it matters not a whit to me what they say, where they say it, to whom or for that matter, why....so long as they spell my name correctly". The man WAS a genius.
