Default Passing of a Baking Legend.......

It is with the saddest heart that we must pass on the following
news.  Please join us 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 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 gravesite 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.

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 dad, Pop Tart.

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

Have a good week!

Ahh yes. I remember well what a life-long Oregonian said to the Pillsbury Doughboy one fine day. He looked him over and said, nice tan!
