Mitch; it is my understanding what Barnum said was "There's a customer born every minute". His detractors may have invented the "sucker" quote. See The Quote Investigator. it is less known Barnum made his fortune and than endowed Tufts University where the skeleton of Jumbo stood for many years. My sister is a Tufts alumnus.
