I think this may be the shot William Burroughs had hoped to make on the fateful day he accidentally shot his wife, Joan, in the head, killing her. Playing a game of sorts by placing an apple on her head, on a mind altering drug, his aim was apparently low, much to the surprise and horror of those in attendance. If I remember correctly, Mr. Burroughs got away with just a verbal admonishment from the court as Joan Burroughs was apparently a willing participant in the ‘game’. Needless to say, we will never know if Burroughs had larceny in his heart that fateful day or if it was just a case of poor aim.
