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 is 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.

I'm shocked; What a shame. A good life, cut short... right in it's prime. He had risen to the pinnacle of his profession and was highly respected by many. But why do you think Duncan Hines didn't make an appearance to pay respects?

I thought he was eaten.

Any time I ever saw that little dumpling, my immediate rection was wanting to squash him with both hands ... so what you're saying is, now I'll never get the chance - darn!!!
