The Logic

There was a ladder ahead. Seated on the sidewalk, it was leaned up against a big oak branch.

He considered going under the ladder. That’s bad luck. There was reasons why going under a ladder could be considered bad luck. People could be up on the ladder, working with tools, or carrying items. They might drop something. That would be bad luck. But he could see that no one was on the ladder. Still, he went around it.

Sometimes, logic is defied.
