Get your motor runnin'

Head out on the highway

Lookin' for adventure

And whatever comes our way

Yeah Darlin' go make it happen

Take the world in a love embrace

Fire all of your guns at once

And explode into space

I love shrimp!
Never could eat just one.

Probably fewer pharmaceuticals in the UK shrimp than the Chinese shrimp?

Whoever was doing the testing had a drippy nose. Got on all the samples.

Are people dumbing drugs into the water to avoid capture?

Poor shrimp don’t know any better and eat it.

Dunno, but I would bet if that hit the markets in CA, they’d be some real rich shrimpers in a very short while.

Supply and demand and all that.
