Pillsbury Doughboy

SAD NEWS From MINNESOTA



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.



Born and bread in Minnesota , 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, three children: John Dough, Jane Dough and Dosey 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.
