Why the Lie?

Hey there people,
Let's just let the "wrang it out" issue go for now since it seems to be causing distress and go back to the question of the fishing buddies story that Ennis tells Alma.

No kidding, Amanda - Someone could easily wring their neck tripping over long arguments about what 'wrang it out' means! ;D
Some great points have been made so far..:)
I always thought that the "rolling his own" comment was in reference to masturbation.
Didn't even think twice about it until now.
Okay, we can move on from it now. ;D

It seems like the "wrang it out" problem would be a good topic for the "double meanings" thread. I still like that the word "twist" was used so often in the various definitions of "wring/ wrang."

When one is rolling his own, it has to do with buying his own pouch of smoking tobacco and own cigarette papers and hand-rolling his own cigarettes. If a gay guy who smokes lets another smoker cowboy take him home with him, the cowboy host provides the ready-made cigarettes after sex. While "riding more than bulls" refers to bull riders, "riding more than horses" refers to saddle bronc and bareback horse rodeo riders. And, the expression is sex related.
The screenwriters used artistic license and had added a scene with Alma seeing the card first before Ennis did and asking him about Jack Twist.
It is several years after the reunion takes place before the short story narrative mentions Ennis's fishing (or trips, even) with Jack twice a year.
The first time fishin' is used in a dialog is when Alma asks if Ennis still goes fishin' with Jack at Thanksgiving after she divorces him.
