> 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
