| Tragic News
It is with the saddest of hearts that I must pass along 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
complications from repeated pokes in the belly. He was 81. 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, as a crusty old man, was considered a roll model for millions.
Doughboy is survived by his wife, Play Dough, and two children, Jane Dough
and John 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.
