This is the one where I got confused about what happens with a fruit bum. I don't remember if there was ever an answer, though - only that a fruit bum is not what I thought and does not have to do with murder by apples in orifices.
There was an answer: that a fruit bum is a transient farm worker, not a method of murdering someone. But the pickax answer -- while so close it makes you boiling hot -- is a BZZT!
DING DING DING! Absolutely CORRECT! The fruit bums were killed with a machete, by either Juan Corona or his brother Natividad.
Shorty Shea was killed with an axe and Darwin Scott with a butcher knife, by the Mansons.
Pickaxes were the weapons of choice in the deaths of Jerry and Deborah. Their killers were Karla Faye Tucker and her stoned friends.

Other than the fact that they were all murder victims, what do Jerry Dean & Deborah Thornton, Shorty Shea & Darwin Scott, and the victims of the Juan Corona fruit-bum murders have in common?
