That reminds me of the story about PT Barnum:

"In 1841, Barnum purchased Scudder's American Museum on Broadway in New York 
City. He exhibited '500,000 natural and artificial curiosities from every 
corner of the globe,' and kept traffic moving through the museum with a sign 
that read, 'This way to the egress' -- 'egress' was another word for exit, and 
Barnum's patrons would have to pay another quarter to reenter the Museum!"
