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 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.
If this made you smile for even a brief second, please rise to the
occasion and take time to pass it on and share that smile with
someone else who may be having a crumby day and kneads
it.
