Please join me in remembering a great icon

[Elrod]

The Pillsbury Doughboy died yesterday of a yeast infection and trauma

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, Betty Crocker, Twinkie the Kid, and Cap'n 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 was a crusty old man

and was considered a positive 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 father, Pop Tart.

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