Sad News

It is with saddest heart that I 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 is survived by his wife, Play Dough, two children, John Dough and

Jane Dough, who has a bun in the oven. He is also survived by his elderly

father, Pop Tart.

Doughboy was buried in a lightly greased coffin. Dozens of celebrities

turned out to pay their respects, including Mrs. Buttersworth, 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.

 The funeral was held at 3:50 for about 20 minutes
