    Crossing guards have been blowing the whistle on kids for years. And the parents even seem to love them for it.

    Glad someone explained it, I thought he was with the Red Cross.

    Carlyle620: The main problem is that the short story by Hemingway is about gun-running to Cuba, while the movie by William Faulkner is about anti-Vichy underground in Martinique. Bacall’s role doesn’t even exist in the original..If you put your lips together and blow, you are either playing a brass musical instrument, or making a rude noise.

    @Al S. Are you being serious? That was just an aside! I would think it was obvious that he is a lifeguard. ???

    DAZZ: Unless you leave some opening, and a pucker helps, putting your lips together and blowing (without the appropriate member of the brass family) will produce what is otherwise known as a raspberry, Bronx cheer, etc. Partially together is not in the script or scene..Men in Black in real life are more likely to be arresting whistle-blowers than protect them.
