Have A Drink On Me

During a drinking party in Mexico City, author William S. Burroughs instructs his wife Joan to balance a glass of gin on her head. He then takes careful aim with his new .38 pistol, and unintentionally blows her brains out in front of their friends. The Mexican authorities later charge Burroughs with criminal imprudence.

How can they be sure it was an accident?

I don't even know where to begin..

First of all, alcohol + weapondry of any kind = NEVER a good idea. Really, no good can come of that. EVER

Secondly, that's like the worst party entertainment ever. Brandishing a pistol and aiming at your beloved's head. Actually, it's the second worst- clowns come first. Drunken clowns with artillery takes the absolute cake.

Thirdly, what kind of gin? Because if it was Bombay Sapphire, then the true crime was the loss of spirits in the tumbling, broken glass.

I hope you know I'm kidding.

That was a tragic story.

And he only did 13 days jail, after his parents "intervened" with, it was said, large amounts of cash...

Just substitute the dangerous weapondry with handcuffs, silk scarves & french ticklers!

Alcohol + love toys of any kind = Monday thru Sunday at my home.......oops! I meant, = a really fun idea.
