<P> "There's a sucker born every minute" is a phrase closely associated with P.T. Barnum, an American showman of the mid-19th century, although there is no evidence he in fact said it . Early examples of its use are found instead among gamblers and confidence men . </P> <P> When Barnum's biographer, Arthur H. Saxon, tried to track down when Barnum had uttered this phrase, he was unable to verify it . According to Saxon, "There's no contemporary account of it, or even any suggestion that the word' sucker' was used in the derogatory sense in his day . Barnum was just not the type to disparage his patrons ." </P>
