It is with the saddest heart, I pass on the following:
Please join me in remembering a great American icon. His passing is being
noted worldwide. The Pillsbury Dough Boy died yesterday from 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, the Hostess Twinkies, and Captain Crunch.
The gravesite was piled high with flours as longtime friend Aunt Jemima
delivered the eulogy, describing 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 and referred to as crusty, at times, he was considered a roll model
for millions. Toward the end it was thought he would rise again, but alas,
he was no tart.
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 twenty minutes.
