Quote by Kurt Vonnegut
The humanoids told Don that if he went home with a whore, she would cook him a meal of petroleum and coal products at fancy prices. And then, while he ate them, she would talk dirty about how fresh and full of natural juices the food was, even though the food was fake.
Summary
This quote highlights the deceptive nature of certain individuals or entities who exploit others for personal gain. The humanoids mentioned in the quote try to entice Don with the promise of a luxurious dinner prepared by a prostitute. However, the food they offer is metaphorically depicted as being made of unhealthy and artificial substances, such as petroleum and coal products. The quote suggests that the humanoids would further manipulate Don by expressing false admiration for the food's supposed freshness and natural qualities, all in order to extract extravagant prices.
