Wisconsin man repeatedly fakes heart attacks to skip out on bills, police say

His most recent performance was at an Applebee's, where he ran up a $22 bill before engaging in what experts call the "Sanford & Son gambit," authorities allege. (He also is accused of doing the same dang thing to the cabbie who took him to the restaurant.) They've found a string of restaurants, strip clubs and cabbies who've allegedly been victimized.

Hat Tip: Many thanks, JUNGLE JIM!

Mebbe I shooda done this to the Ambulance driver I had ??? (j/k)...Obviously, one day, this guy will cry wolf, and nobody will believe him....Having beem through that, a heart attack is pretty serious.
When I asked the nurse at the hospital how serious I was, she replied "As serious as a heart attack"....I walked right into that one....
