sad news...sigh
> It is with the saddest heart I pass on the following:
>
> Please join me in remembering a great icon. The Pillsbury Doughboy died
> yesterday of a yeast infection and complications from repeated pokes in
> the
> belly. He was 71.
> The graveside was piled high with flours. As longtime 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 at times, he even still, as a crusty old man, was considered a roll
> model for millions.
> Doughboy was buried in a lightly greased coffin. Dozens of celebrities
> turned out to pay their respects, including Mrs. Butterworth, Hungry Jack,
> Captain Crunch, Betty Crocker, the Hostess Twinkies, and the California
> Raisins.
> 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 twenty minutes. |
