Becky,
It seems that Barnum had a problem at his famous museum of oddities.
The museum had become so popular that the patrons wouldn't leave and the building quickly filled to capacity. This prevented more patrons from helping to fill P.T.'s bank account.
Barnum thought for a bit, then had signs with arrows made-up saying "This way to the Great Egress". Sure enough, people followed the signs to a large set of doors over which read "The Great Egress".
Full of anticipation they went through the doors only to find themselves back out on the street.
