Death of the Doughboy
It is with the saddest heart that I pass on the following: Please join me in remembering a great icon. The Pillsbury Doughboy died yesterday of a yeast infection and 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 with flours. Longtime friend Aunt Jemima delivered the eulogy. She 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. But, despite being a little flaky at times, he served as a roll model for millions.
-
Doughboy is survived by his wife, Play Dough; two children, John Dough and Jane Dough; plus, they had a bun in the oven. He is also survived by his elderly father, Pop Tart.
-
The funeral was held at 3:50 for about 20 Minutes.

Very funny. I have not seen any thing like this before. It was most entertaining.
May Christ continue to bless you all.
