In the short story, Jack describes to Ennis his return visit to Joe Aguirre: "...but when I went out, I seen he had a big-ass pair of binoculars hanging off his rearview."
=clarification= expletives
Both the short story and the movie are laced with expletives. As may be expected, different people have different sensitivities when it comes to expletives. We all come from different backgrounds and cultures, and what may be highly offensive to one person, may be only mildly offensive to another. I do not want to be placed in a position of having to "rank" expletives; i.e., is the "C" word more offensive than the "F" word? For the purposes of the "ABCs", expletives have been, and will continue to be, accepted as appropriate "ABCs" answers but only when quoted directly from the short story, the movie itself, or any of the screenplay versions of BBM. In other words, I don't want to see: L.D. acted like a real M.F. at Thanksgiving when he did his "stud duck" routine. Contact me privately if further clarification is needed.
