Please join me in remembering a great icon of the
entertainment community. 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 gravesite was piled
high with flours.
Life long friend Aunt Jamima 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 later in 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 positive roll
model for millions. Toward the end it was thought he
would rise again, but alas, he was no tart.
Doughboy is survived fby his wife Play Dough, two
children, John Dough and Jane Dough, and it is rumored
they had one in the oven. He is also survivied by hie
elderly father, Pop Tart.
The funeral was held at 3:50 for about 20 minutes.
didn't know it was a funeral, thought it was a reception !@!
