Captain Dick Sprague stuffed as much salad into his mouth as it could hold. "Mmmmmm!" he nearly yelled as he began to bite into it. It was his 4th salad. And it was glorious.

He swallowed and then filled his fork with even even bigger bite, which naturally demanded and even more enthusiastic, "Mmmmmmmmmm!"

It was a whole new world. Since he could make salad taste like a burger, he could eat as much as he liked. He wondered how this 23rd century development could have eluded him his whole life until now. "Who cares," he muttered, dismissing the question.

He took another bite. "Mmmmmm! Mmmmmm!" It was even better than the first two.

"Man," said a passerby. "I've never seen someone enjoy a salad so much."

"It's incredible," Sprague called back with his mouth full of beef-inspired leaves. "It's replicated to taste like a hamburger... I can eat as much as I like without gaining a pound."

"What?" the man asked.

"The replicator... the healthiness of a salad, but with the taste of a burger."

"Hey man, you know it doesn't work like that, right?"

Sprague stopped mid-chew.

"Yeah, so like the replicator can make it taste like anything, but it's actually worse for you than the real thing because of the chemical compounds necessary to pull it off. ... Yeah bro, you don't mix foods in replicators."

Some bits fell from Sprague's mouth as his new world came crumbling down.

OFF:

That's it! Just a quick one from Starnase 57. What's going on back on the Wayfarer? Thanks for that post earlier today, XO!

P.S.--I did NOT almost send with "USS Chuck Norris" in the subject line today. :)
