Quote: "Ration bar?" Desjani asked, offering one.-- From The Lost Fleet: Valiant, by Jack Campbell (a.k.a. John G. Hemry). I urgently recommend reading this
"Tell me it's not a Danaka Yoruk bar."
"It's not a Danaka Yoruk bar."
"Thanks." Geary took the offered bar, then read the label. "It is a Danaka Yoruk bar. Why'd you tell me it wasn't?"
"Because you told me to tell you that," Desjani explained.... "They taste the worst, so everybody ate the others first. We've got some
Syndic ration bars.... The chief who volunteered to taste test them informed me that they have one great virtue." She indicated the bar Geary was
holding. "They make Danaka Yoruk bars taste good by comparison."
"If I have to face death today, why does my possibly last meal have to be a Danaka Yoruk bar?" Geary complained....
