The Fool left the hotel and walked into town to buy some Ivy-Dry spray at the drugstore which promised to "soothe the itch!" and "treat the rash!" Since it contained the patented Zytrel™, the Fool knew he was in good hands. He continued on, crossing the Kentucky River and walking 12 miles to the small town of Milton. It was there that the Fool expected to take a small bridge across the Ohio River into Madison, Indiana. But our walking friend was to discover a narrow, 2-lane bridge with absolutely no shoulder. The 1/2 mile bridge appeared to be worse than the Conowingo Dam, and as an added deterrant, there was a clearly marked sign: "Pedestrians Prohibited on Bridge." The fool went to the local Dairy Queen and asked around whether they thought he'd get in trouble if he crossed the bridge. The 17-year old kid behind the screened window summed it up flatly: "The cops will probably arrest you."
That was not the answer he wanted to hear.
