Hello All,
Subject: Sad, Sad Day.
It is with the 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. Butterworth, Hungry Jack,
The California Rasins, 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.
