R.I.P.
Please join me in remembering a great icon of the entertainment community.
The Pillsbury Doughboy died yesterday of a yeast infection and traumatic
complications from repeated pokes in the belly. He was 71.
Doughboy was buried in a lightly greased container. Dozens of celebrities turned
out to pay their respects, including Mrs. Butterworth, Hungry Jack, the 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, three children: John Dough, Jane
Dough and Dosey 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.
