It is with the saddest heart that I must pass on the following news:
Please join me in remembering a great icon of the entertainment
community.
The Pillsbury Doughboy died yesterday of a yeast infection and
trauma
complications from repeated pokes in the belly.
He was 71. Doughboy was buried in a lightly greased coffin.
Dozens of celebrities turned out to pay their respects, including:
Mrs. Butterworth,
Hungry Jack,
the California Raisins,
Betty Crocker,
the Hostess Twinkies,
Little Debbie,
and Captain Crunch.
The grave site was piled high with flours.
Aunt Jemima delivered the eulogy and lovingly described
Doughboy as a man who never knew how much he was kneaded.
Doughboy rose quickly in show business, but his later life was
filled
with
turnovers. He was not considered a very smart cookie, wasting much
of
his
dough on half-baked schemes. Despite being a little flaky at times
he
was
still a crusty old man and was considered a roll model for millions.
Doughboy is survived by his wife, Play Dough; two children, John
Dough
and
Jane Dough, plus they had one in the oven. He is also survived by his
elderly dad, Pop Tart.
The funeral was held at 3:50 for about 20 minutes.
If this made you smile for even a brief second, please take time
to
pass
it on and share that smile with someone else that kneads it.
Jack
