Sad News, I'm Sorry to Have to Write About ... It is with saddest heart
that I pass on the following news.. Please Join me in remembering a
great icon of the entertainment community. The Pillsbury Doughboy died
yesterday of a yeast infection, and complications from repeated pokes in
the belly. He was 71. Doughboy leaves behind his wife, Play Dough, his two
children, John Dough and Jane Dough and his elderly father, Pop Tart. Doughboy was buried in a lightly greased coffin. Dozens of celebrities turned out to pay their respects, including Mrs. Buttersworth, HungryJack, The California
Raisins, Betty Crocker, the Hostess Twinkies and Captain Crunch. The
grave site was piled high with flour. 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 was still a crusty old man, and considered a roll
model for millions. The funeral was held at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes
