PILLSBURY DOUGH BOY EULOGY
Your Jokes ^ | Nov. 21, 2004 | Doug Allen

Posted on 11/30/2004 5:05:38 PM PST by xJones

It is with the saddest heart that I must pass on the following news.

Please join me 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. Dozen of celebrities turned out to pay their respects, including Mrs. Butterworth, Hungry Jack, The California Raisins, Betty Crocker, The Hostess Twinkies, Little Debbie and Captain Crunch.

The grave site was piled high with flours.

Aunt Jemina 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 father, Pop Tart.

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

I don't think it's funny at all. I think it's sad.

The Pillsbury Dough Boy never directly impacted my life but I always found his upbeat demeanor to be a positive influence on those around him. To my knowledge, the Pillsbury Dough Boy never wore a frown, and that is how he should be remembered.

I wonder if he had any kids and if so, if any of the will carry the torch in future Pillsbury commercials and advertisements.

Whatever happened to Frankenberry? That was another positive role model for me when I was growing up.

My late father hated the Pillsbury Dough Boy. Every time he'd be on TV, Dad would say, "I'd like to take that little bastard and stomp him into a f*****g tortilla!!!!!!" LOL Can't blame him - I'd like to go after those Intel blue guys with a 30.06. They creep me out, big time.

Sara Lee refused to attend. When asked why, she said, "The last time we were together, he was poppin' fresh with me!"
