No, this is not a four-armed delivery man; it's two guys riding on a motorcycle, with the guy on the back doing his best to balance an enormous tray of loaves of Egyptian bread, as his companion zoomed along the highway; I shot this rather hurriedly, through the front window of the bus as we passed by them...
The amazing thing is that the bread wasn't covered or tied down; and as a result, individual loaves of bread occasionally flew off the pile, though I don't know if the motorcycle riders were aware of it.
