I hate to be the bearer of sad news, but I must, even though
the New Year is just around the corner.
Please join me in remembering a great icon of the
entertainment community here in America. 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 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. The funeral was held at 3:50
for about 20 minutes.
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 a
crusty old man and 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.
