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.

Dozens of celebrities turned out to pay their respects, including . . . Captain Crunch. I understand General Mills was there, too.

In case you haven't seen this, I thought it worth a ping.
Call me silly, but I laughed out loud.
To: Charles Henrickson
Pastor Henrickson, I know you had a Higher calling, but if not for that, you'd be a clever comedian.
Thanks for the laughs. I always enjoy your humor.
To: Southflanknorthpawsis
LOL - thanks for the ping, Southie!
To: Southflanknorthpawsis
The entire Doughboy family has my prayers and best wishes, Southie. Why no prayer thread?

Southie. Why no prayer thread? I considered it, but then realized that I might melt like butter on a hot biscuit. So, I opted to stay away from the risk of being burned.
Poor Dough..........
To say he was hot is an understatement.
