Are stroking and greasing interchangeable?

As a rick I can pull off all sorts of badassery even when I am so out of my skull from my drinking that the laws of physics only seem like suggestions. However, those of you who are more constrained by your normalness have to help me out: does it work just as well to stroke a manager and grease a bouncer as it does the other way ‘round?

I’m constantly fucking that one up but I’m not sure if it works both ways because we ricks are allowed to reverse the polarity of the universe or if its one of those things that just plain works however you do it. You know, like how you get a shock whenever you put your tongue in an electrical outlet regardless of whether you are standing on your head or not.

Please provide your insights. This rick has an inquiring mind!
