Pillsbury Dough Boy

I hate to be the bearer of sad news so it is with a heavy heart
that I pass on the following:


Please join me in remembering a great icon -- the veteran
Pillsbury spokesman. 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 high with flours. His longtime friend, Aunt
Jemima, delivered the eulogy, describing Doughboy as a man who
never knew how much he was needed. 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
even still, as a crusty old man, was considered a roll model for
millions. Toward the end it was thought he would rise again, but
alas, he was no tart. Doughboy had a wife, Play Dough; two
children, John Dough and Jane Dough; plus they had one in the
oven. He also had a elderly father, Pop Tart. The funeral was
held at 3:50 for about twenty minutes.
