A Question for the Group Mind

[rolanni]

Now, I Understand Perfectly why it is that you don't want to pay the ferryman before you get to the other side. After all, if the fee were paid at the outset, the old fella might very well get tired of you half-way across and leave you to sleep with the fishes.

What I Don't Understand, though, is why you mustn't even fix a price.

Anybody?

I always figured it was because then the ferryman would know how much you had on you. He might then decide to cosh you over the head halfway across and simply take it.
