Sad 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, and Captain Crunch. The gravesite 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.


If this made you smile for even a brief second, please rise to the

occasion and take the time to pass it on and share that smile with

someone else who may be having a crumbly day and kneads it.
