Are the three stooges sick? What gives?
Asch is in the hospital.............
Tom:
Gunner's in the hospital?
Yes, since last Wednesday.
He just got OUT of the hospital, where there some complications?
That is my guess.
Is it serious?
I don't know but it's an unexpected hospital stay six weeks after open
heart surgery, I would guess it's serious.

Dang welfare state !!!!
I'd wager he ignored the doctor's instructions,
may have pulled his sternum open with some gun crazy stuff .... not
taken his $$ meds .. ?
Worst case might be endocarditis .....
Highest probability is a stroke/clot. Given his years of bile for the
poor and health care, I wonder what the tab is for Gunner, the Welfare
Queen, now?
Something just doesn't fit. Gunner claimed he was making $75/hour yet
had no health insurance. At his age of 54, 55, 56 health insurance would
cost less than a day's work. Even if he was 70 as one post indicated
Blue Cross with a $5k deductable would still be less than two days a
month.
Was gunner lying about his income or irresponsible about his health
needs? In either case he is now the lowest form of life in his own
words. Gunner should have watched "My Name Is Earl."
Gunner's not lying. He gets $75/hr for machine tool service. That's
not a full time, 40 hr/week job. Some weeks are good, 5-6 service
calls for a 50 hr week. Other weeks suck. You wind up with one or two
1 hour jobs.
Then you get times when the economy is down, people find ways to fix
their equipment themselves, or try to get by without needed repairs,
and you find yourself with no service calls for two or three weeks.
Been there, done that.
