The Solution To Diplomatic Problems On Star Trek.

You know when dealing with alien races, the solution to our conflicts with them are often not so simple. For example in Time's Arrow Capt. Picard tells that Devidian woman if they need our energy, there's no need to go back to 19th century San Francisco to hunt and kill us. Perhaps we can find you a substitute, he tells her. But she tells him no, there is none. So they have to blow up the planet in the end.

But you know in The Man Trap (first aired 1966) since I was a child I've been screaming at the TV set, to Nancy Crater. If you want salt, go the supermarket. They've got aisles of it there. Or it's free in packets at McDonalds. But there's no need to kill people for it. And then suck it from them like leeches.

 

Maybe human salt tastes better?
Alien hype perhaps? You must try our specially curated human salt! It will leave you feeling young and vigorous!

 

"the companion...." salt was scarce in them parts....

 

The aliens were also after limes and cactus juice for some weird reason...

 

Salt alone is only Sodium Chloride (NaCl). Pink Himalayan salt is just salt with some pink minerals leached into it over a long time. Salt in people would have traces of
amino acids, maybe some protein stuck to it, perhaps some residue of a triple, cheeseburger from In-and-Out, maybe some DNA from a deceased Yeti.

 

I propose that the age-old expression "BS" be changed to "BE". 'Bull' discriminates against females of the order, and S*** is not socially acceptable.
"BE" is a diverse expression that includes females, bisons, yaks, musk oxen, etc. The "E" stands for excrement (self-explanatory).

 

I think BS can also mean Bovine Shit. No gender required.

 

The drink Tequila comes to mind! So were they all cocktail waiters and waitresses?
