Sad day in celbrity history. A true culinary genius.
Dear Friends,
It is with the saddest heart that I must pass on the following news.
Please join us 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
was buried in a lightly greased coffin.
Dozens of celebrities turned out to pay their respects, including
Mrs. Butterworth, Hungry Jack, Aunt Jemima, 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 time on half-
baked schemes.
Despite being a little flaky at times, he still, as a crusty old man,
was considered a 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
