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, 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 still was a crusty old man
and was considered a positive 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
father, Pop Tart.

The funeral was held at 3:50 for about 20 minutes.

Thank you to my dear friend Sheila for this update.
