It's a reference to someone "selling" the Brooklyn bridge to someone else for scrap long ago. I think so anyway.

[–] NABDad@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I thought it was about selling the bridge as a toll bridge.

Which wouldn’t be a bad investment if they could prove your buying the right to toll the bridge.

i thought it was something something “that’s a bridge too far”, and so they need exactly one bridge

It's a saying that he'll sell you a bridge that he doesn't own because you're gullible.
