Guest midnight Posted March 28, 2003 Share Posted March 28, 2003 It is with the saddest heart, I pass on the following: Please join me in remembering a great icon. The Pillsbury Dough Boy died yesterday from 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, the Hostess Twinkies, and Captain Crunch. The grave site was piled high with flours as long-time friend Aunt Jemima delivered the eulogy, describing 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 and referred to as a crusty old man at times, he was considered a roll model for millions. Toward the end it was thought he would rise again, but alas, he was no tart. 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 farther Pop Tart. The funeral was held at 3:50 for about twenty minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
