Sun drying shrimp - GIF

[Moby Duck]

Back in the early ‘70 I was driving along a sealed road in the north of Penang, Malaysia. I came to a road like this completely covered in shrimp drying in the sun. There was no room to turn around, and while I was thinking what to do a bystander waved me on, just drive through them. There was about half a mile of road covered with shrimp, at the end of the shrimp there were a few houses and the road also ended. I then had to turn around and drive back over all the shrimp again. I felt like I was damaging their product, but perhaps they wanted them flattened. They didn’t seem upset about me doing it.
