How many are actually born every minute[edit]

To quote myself, "You know the phrase a sucker is born ever minute? Well, it is quite true. Based on phishing statistics along with birth rates there are 20 suckers born every minute. But, if you add in the mortality rate and age of suckers there are about 8.66766222222... suckers born every minute. " I do not know how accurate this is. I have two questions,

1. Is this accurate? 2. Should I post this? 65.129.139.166 (talk) 03:43, 20 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Removed anti-semitic content[edit]

I removed an anti-semitic statement from article. In doing so I retained the main point of the quotation which directly speaks to the history of the phrase "there is a sucker born every minute." The historic precursor remains in the article intact; "That there vash von fool born every minute.'"

I could see instances where "objectionable content" might have to remain intact; in this case objectionable content was superfluous to the mainpoint
