W is for Wit
"Wit" is the letter W of my Abstract Nouns alphabet. And what better example of wit then P.T. Barnum's "This Way to the Egress!" sign? Barnum reportedly hung these signs in Barnum 's American Museum because he felt that people were lingering too long at each exhibit. Not knowing what "egress" meant, people followed the signs..... all the way to the exit.
