Would something like that screw up your bought calls? I don't know how calls work with special dividends, but I could imagine it pissing a lot of call holders off. If apple were to do a 1 time special dividend of say $40-50 (Costco just did one of $7) to get dividend income in this year before the fiscal cliff. Stock would drop $50, call holders would be screwed?
EDIT: nvm, after doing some research it appears your options will be adjusted similar to as if the stock did a split.

Lately I've been taking some profits in AAPL, transferring money from Bull Put Spreads into Single Calls, and removing some cash.

AAPL is good stock.
I will wait until it retest to buy on dip.
