In remembrance...

Aug 26, 2008 17:28

Let's join together 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
gravesite 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 that may be having a crumby day and
kneads a lift.
