One is the kind paid out by preachers as they speak about their gospel, which is their rice bowl.

The other kind is a sex act, which some people pay for to people for whom that's their rice bowl.

Either way, you don't want to break nobody's rice bowl.

My brother, dog that he is, brags that his papasan was the best cook, provided the best hash/opium/marijuana, and much more came with the deal. My brother, unlike men of your character, is a rumpyPublican, with anger issues and someone who demeans women.

Thanks for reminding me of "rice bowl".
