Breaking the Precept

The officer regretfully shook his head. "Now you regret it; seems like I'm better than these baldies after all." Then he turned to everyone else to say, "The higher-ups know that there are too many monks and too few nuns. The so-called problem of 'too many monks and too little gruel,' so I'll add some 'gruel' for you."

Proud of his metaphor, the officer chuckled and also left.
