[NJARC] Passing of an Entertainment Icon

Passing of an Icon


SAD NEWS, Please join me 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 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, 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 a smile with someone 
else who may be having a crummy day and kneads it.

Happy Thanksgiving & 73,
John Dilks, K2TQN
