Hmmm... where did you hear
Hmmm... where did you hear he had colon cancer? I googled him but the sites I found said he had been diagnosed with non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. Not that I'm saying colon cancer is worse... but the book he's written is because of his experience with the Lymphoma cancer.
His book would probably be interesting... it's called "Cancer for $5/day", which is a funny title in itself0 -

He says something about colon cancer in his show, my brother called me to tell me to watch it, because he had what I had, and that he was laughing so hard with him he was in tears, so I did watch him, and still found him to be an inspiration, but now I have to rewatch it again to see if he actually said colon..we could swear he mentions it.
And, yes, his book sounds even interesting.. "Cancer on 5 bucks a day" I may have to pick that up!

Didn't find the one about the colon ca but found some of Schimmells skits on
youtube.com if anyone is interested. He reminds me a little of George Carlin,
a little raunchy!0 -

My local library doesn't carry his book but I did put it on order for them to get from a neighboring library. I'll let everyone know what I think when I get it. Thanks for the heads up....I'm always looking for fun/funny books!

"...that lady wouldn't be sexy with 3 (breasts)..." too funny! And I LOVE the way he was able to turn around the attitude of that guy who was just angry at the world! Laughter really is the best medicine!

Robert lost a son to cancer when he was only 11, and then 3 years after being diagnosed with his cancer, his wife gave birth to a boy! exactly 3 years after his diagnosis! at the then of the show (you can even buy his dvd) he shows all these pics of exactly who and what he was talking about, being on the roller coaster, how sick he was, how he lost so much weight, yet after 8 days after the sickly looking pic of him was taken, he went to Las Vegas! lol.. he does remind me of George Carlin, but man, when he brings cancer into it, it actually provided me some laughs as well! lol.. if you have cable, just order showtime for a day, then watch it on demand, it's on the list, and then call them and tell them you don't want it anymore, you just wanted to watch Schimmells show lol...0
