It is with the saddest heart that I must pass
on the following news. Please join me 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,
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. 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, 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
